This paper analyzes the performance of concurrent (index) scan operations in both record (NSM/PAX) and column (DSM) disk storage models and shows that existing scheduling policies...
Abstract: Peer data management systems (PDMS) are a highly dynamic, decentralized infrastructure for large-scale data integration. They consist of a dynamic set of autonomous peers...
We consider the problem of horizontally partitioning a dynamic relation across a large number of disks/nodes by the use of range partitioning. Such partitioning is often desirable...
In this paper we consider the problem of answering queries using views, with or without ontological constraints, which is important for data integration, query optimization, and d...
Selectivity estimation is an important step of query optimization in a database management system, and multidimensional histogram techniques have proved promising for selectivity ...
