Ever since the `early days' of database management systems, clustering has proven to be one of the most effective performance enhancement techniques for object oriented datab...
Users often need to optimize the selection of objects by appropriately weighting the importance of multiple object attributes. Such optimization problems appear often in operation...

To meet users’ growing needs for accessing pre-existing heterogeneous databases, a multidatabase system (MDBS) integrating multiple databases has attracted many researchers recen...
Hash tables on external memory are commonly used for indexing in database management systems. In this paper we present an algorithm that, in an asymptotic sense, achieves the best...
SQL tuning--the attempt to improve a poorly-performing execution plan produced by the database query optimizer-is a critical aspect of database performance tuning. Ironically, as ...
