Abstract. We present in this paper a new model for representing probabilistic information in a semi-structured (XML) database, based on the use of probabilistic event variables. Th...
This paper presents a performance comparison of several file system allocation policies. The file systems are designed to provide high bandwidth between disks and main memory by...
The high frequency of applications involving large, ordered, nested lists suggests that list is the "next most" natural data type after set. A list differs from a set th...
Large writes are beneficial both on individual disks and on disk arrays, e.g., RAID-5. The presented design enables large writes of internal B-tree nodes and leaves. It supports b...
Data cube has been playing an essential role in fast OLAP (online analytical processing) in many multi-dimensional data warehouses. However, there exist data sets in applications ...
