Synchronous transactional logging is the central mechanism for ensuring data persistency and recoverability in database systems. Unfortunately, magnetic disks are ill-suited for t...
Managing uncertain data using probabilistic frameworks has attracted much interest lately in the database literature, and a central computational challenge is probabilistic infere...
This paper presents a semantic space profiler for parallel functional programs. Building on previous work in sequential profiling, our tools help programmers to relate runtime res...

Abstract-- Despite the best intentions of disk and RAID manufacturers, on-disk data can still become corrupted. In this paper, we examine the effects of corruption on database mana...
Computation in the physical world is restricted by the following spatial locality constraint: In a single unit of time, information can only travel a bounded distance in space. A ...
