Background: Genome databases contain diverse kinds of information, including gene annotations and nucleotide and amino acid sequences. It is not easy to integrate such information...
We present an architecture and a set of challenges for peer database management systems. These systems team up to build a network of nodes (peers) that coordinate at run time most...
This demonstration presents QueRIE, a recommender system that supports interactive database exploration. This system aims at assisting non-expert users of scientific databases by...
In existing systems, user transactions get blocked during materialized view creation and non-trivial database schema transformations. Blocking user transactions is not an option in...
It has been important to extend database management systems to support new requirements of applications and administration. We focus in this paper on the automatic tuning feature,...
