We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering and query rewrite (JOQR) followed by parallelization. We focus on t...
Abstract-- A novel algorithm to solve constrained realparameter optimization problems, based on the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is introduced in this paper. The operators used ...
We describe an algorithm for learning in the presence of multiple criteria. Our technique generalizes previous approaches in that it can learn optimal policies for all linear pref...
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...

We present the first efficient approach to global routing that takes spacing-dependent costs into account and provably finds a near-optimum solution including these costs. We sh...
