In a data stream management system, a continuous query is processed by an execution plan consisting of multiple operators connected via the "consumer-producer" relationsh...
Duplication of data in storage systems is becoming increasingly common. We introduce I/O Deduplication, a storage optimization that utilizes content similarity for improving I/O p...
The paper is concerned with algebras whose elements can be used to represent runs of a system, called processes. These algebras, called behaviour algebras, are categories with resp...
In this paper, we study the perturbation operator of Iterated Local Search. To guide more efficiently the search to move towards new promising regions of the search space, we intro...
Transactions ensure simple and correct handling of concurrency and failures but are often considered too expensive for use in file systems. This paper argues that performance is ...
