Robustness against Read Committed for Transaction Templates

Christoph Koch, Bas Ketsman

The isolation level Multiversion Read Committed (RC), offered by many database systems, is known to trade consistency for increased transaction throughput. Sometimes, transaction workloads can be safely executed under RC obtaining the perfect isolation of ...

Consolidation of database check constraints

Nikola Obrenovic

Independent modeling of various modules of an information system (IS), and consequently database subschemas, may result in formal or semantic conflicts between the modules being modeled. Such conflicts may cause collisions between the integrated database s ...

Timely and cost-efficient data exploration through adaptive tuning

Matthaios Alexandros Olma

Modern applications accumulate data at an exponentially increasing rate and traditional database systems struggle to keep up. Decision support systems used in industry, rely heavily on data analysis, and require real-time responses irrespective of data siz ...

Proximity Operators of Discrete Information Divergences

Mireille El Gheche

While phi-divergences have been extensively studied in convex analysis, their use in optimization problems often remains challenging. In this regard, one of the main shortcomings of existing methods is that the minimization of phi-divergences is usually pe ...

Characterization of the Impact of Hardware Islands on OLTP

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis, Danica Porobic, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco

Modern hardware is abundantly parallel and increasingly heterogeneous. The numerous processing cores have non-uniform access latencies to the main memory and processor caches, which causes variability in the communication costs. Unfortunately, database sys ...
