Beyond isolation: research opportunities in declarative data-driven coordination

Christoph Koch

There are many database applications that require users to coordinate and communicate. Friends want to coordinate travel plans, students want to jointly enroll in the same set of courses, and busy professionals want to coordinate their schedules. These tas ...

PARINDA: An Interactive Physical Designer for PostgreSQL

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Ioannis Alagiannis, Debabrata Dash, Cristina Ileana Maier

One of the most challenging tasks for the database administrator is to physically design the database to attain optimal performance for a given workload. Physical design is hard because it requires the selection of an optimal set of design features from a ...

Stretching BFT

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic, Nikola Knezevic

State-of-the-art BFT protocols remain far from the maximum theoretical throughput. Based on exhaustive eval- uation and monitoring of existing BFT protocols, we highlight few impediments to their scaling. These include the use of IP multicast, the presence ...

Drivolution: Rethinking the Database Driver Lifecycle

George Candea, Emmanuel Cecchet

The current design of database drivers – a necessary evil for interacting with a DBMS – imposes undue burdens on those who install, upgrade, and manage database systems and their applications. In this paper, we introduce Drivolution, a new architecture for ...

Hardware Implementation Issues of the Neighborhood Mechanism in Kohonen Self Organized Feature Maps

Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

In this paper, we discuss an important problem of the selection of the neighborhood radius in the learning schemes of the Winner Takes Most Kohonen neural network. The optimization of this parameter is essential in case of hardware realization of the netwo ...

Network Resource Allocation for Competing Multiple Description Transmissions

Suhas Diggavi

Providing real-time multimedia services over a best-effort network is challenging due to the stringent delay requirements in the presence of complex network dynamics. Multiple description (MD) coding is one approach to transmit the media over diverse (mult ...

A Rate-based Prefiltering Approach to BLAST Acceleration

Dionysios Pnevmatikatos, Sotiria Fytraki

DNA sequence comparison and database search have evolved in the last years as a field of strong competition between several reconfigurable hardware computing groups. In this paper we present a BLAST preprocessor that efficiently marks the parts of the data ...

Simplifying complex networks

David Gfeller

The framework of complex networks has been shown to describe adequately a wide class of complex systems made up of a large number of interacting units. In this framework, a node is associated to each unit and two nodes are connected by an edge if the two u ...

Network Monitoring: it depends on your points of view

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi

End-to-end active network monitoring infers network characteristics by sending and collecting probe packets from the network edge, while probes traverse the network through multicast trees or a mesh of unicast paths. Most reported methods consider given so ...

Spectral coarse graining of complex networks

Paolo De Los Rios, David Gfeller

Reducing the complexity of large systems described as complex networks is key to understanding them and a crucial issue is to know which properties of the initial system are preserved in the reduced one. Here we use random walks to design a coarse graining ...
