We initiate the study of sublinear-time algorithms in the external memory model [14]. In this model, the data is stored in blocks of a certain size B, and the algorithm is charged...

We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...

Relational database systems have traditionally optimized for I/O performance and organized records sequentially on disk pages using the N-ary Storage Model (NSM) (a.k.a., slotted ...

Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
Estimating the selectivity of multidimensional range queries over real valued attributes has significant applications in data exploration and database query optimization. In this p...
