Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
Most database systems allow query processing over attributes that are derived at query runtime (e.g., user-defined functions and remote data calls to web services), making them e...

Abstract. Genome sequencing will soon produce haplotype data for individuals. For pedigrees of related individuals, sequencing appears to be an attractive alternative to genotyping...
Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
We present a practical, stratified autocalibration algorithm with theoretical guarantees of global optimality. Given a projective reconstruction, the first stage of the algorithm ...
