Flash disks are becoming an important alternative to conventional magnetic disks. Although accessed through the same interface by applications, flash disks have some distinguishe...
A common approach in designing relational databases is to start with a universal relation schema, which is then decomposed into multiple subschemas. A good choice of subschemas ca...
In this paper, we present an experimental evaluation of three color-spatial retrieval techniques -- the signaturebased technique, the partition-based algorithm and the cluster-bas...
This paper focuses on the application of rough set constructs to inductive learning from a database. A design guideline is suggested, which provides users the option to choose app...
In this paper, a locking-based concurrency control scheme is presented for object-oriented databases (OODBs). It is designed for controlling accesses to class hierarchy, which is ...
