Transparent scalable database replication

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety

This thesis demonstrates that, despite earlier projections to the contrary, database replication on a cluster of low-cost commodity servers can transparently scale database performance. In a replicated system providing the standard transactional properties ...

On the prediction of heat transfer in micro-scale flow boiling

John Richard Thome, Wei Zhang, Lorenzo Consolini

Xu et al. have recently published a set of results for boiling heat transfer measurements in a multi- channel micro- scale evaporator for flow boiling of acetone in triangular cross- section channels ( hydraulic diameter of 155.4 mm). In the present collab ...

Database Replication Using Generalized Snapshot Isolation

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

Generalized snapshot isolation extends snapshot isolation as used in Oracle and other databases in a manner suitable for replicated databases. While (conventional) snapshot isolation requires that transactions observe the “latest” snapshot of the database, ...

Conflict-Aware Scheduling for Dynamic Content Applications

Willy Zwaenepoel

We present a new lazy replication technique, suitable for scaling the back-end database of a dynamic content site using a cluster of commodity computers. Our technique, called conflict-aware scheduling, provides both throughput scaling and 1-copy serializa ...

Face Verification using LDA and MLP on the BANCA database

Sébastien Marcel

In this paper, we propose a system for face verification. It describes in detail each stage of the system: the modeling of the face, the extraction of relevant features and the classification of the input face as a client or an impostor. This system is bas ...

Database Integration: the Key to Data Interoperability

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent

Most of new databases are no more built from scratch, but re-use existing data from several autonomous data stores. To facilitate application development, the data to be re-used should preferably be redefined as a virtual database, providing for the logica ...

On Spatial Database Integration

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent

This paper investigates the problems that arise when application requirements command that autonomous spatial databases be integrated into a federated one. The paper focuses on the most critical issues raised by the integration of databases of different sc ...
