Column-store database systems open new vistas for improved maintenance through self-organization. Individual columns are the focal point, which simplify balancing conflicting requ...
Existing index selection tools rely on heuristics to efficiently search within the large space of alternative solutions and to minimize the overhead of using the query optimizer ...
This paper describes the architectures that can be used to build highly available database management systems. We describe these architectures along two dimensions – process redu...

Concept learning in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems is a challenging task. This paper presents an active concept learning approach based on mixture model to deal with...
We report on initial experiments in tree locking schemes for compiled database applications. Such applications have a repository style of architecture in which a collection of sof...
