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 ...

Building 3D anatomical scenes on the Web

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach

We propose a new service for building user-defined 3D anatomical structures on the Web. The Web server is connected to a database storing more than 1000 3D anatomical models reconstructed from the Visible Human. Users may combine existing models as well as ...

Walking Four Machines By The Shore

Anastasia Ailamaki

Recent studies have shown that the hardware behavior of database workloads is suboptimal when compared to scientific workloads, and have identified the processor and memory subsystem as the true performance bottlenecks, when running decision-support worklo ...

Exception Handling in Open Multithreaded Transactions

Jörg Kienzle

This paper describes a model for providing transaction support for object-oriented concurrent programming languages. In order to achieve seamless integration, the use of the concurrency features provided by the programming language should not be restricted ...

Understanding replication in databases and distributed systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Replication is an area of interest to both distributed systems and databases. The solutions developed from these two perspectives are conceptually similar but differ in many aspects: model, assumptions, mechanisms, guarantees provided, and implementation. ...

The database state machine and group communication issues

Fernando Pedone

Distributed computing is reshaping the way people think about and do daily life activities. On-line ticket reservation, electronic commerce, and telebanking are examples of services that would be hardly imaginable without distributed computing. Nevertheles ...

Transaction model vs Virtual Synchrony model: bridging the gap

Rachid Guerraoui, André Schiper

Two important models for building fault-tolerant applications have been independently proposed in the literature, the {\em transaction} model (developed within the context of database applications) and the {\em virtual synchrony} model (proposed initially ...

ERC+: an object + Relationship Environment for Database Applications

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent

The concepts of object oriented data models aim towards modeling of application objects close to the user's view. Yet developers of applications relying on object oriented database management systems are facing problems resulting from the limitations of ob ...

A portable relational data base management system for microcomputer

Daniel Thalmann

After a brief survey of existing database management systems (DBMS) for small machines the authors describe the design and implementation of a microcomputer-based DBMS intended for the non-specialist user. Portability, interactivity, and simplicity require ...
