In this paper, we investigate the problem of answering top-k queries via materialized views. We provide theoretical guarantees for the adequacy of a view to answer a top-k query, ...
We present the PPOST-architecture (Persistent Parallel Object Store) for main-memory database systems on parallel computers, that is suited for applications with challenging perfor...

In this paper, we propose an online aggregation system called COSMOS (Continuous Sampling for Multiple queries in an Online aggregation System), to process multiple aggregate quer...
We present a new client cache consistency algorithm for client caching database management systems. The algorithm, called Asynchronous Avoidance-based Cache Consistency (AACC), pr...
