Automated Physical Designers: What You See is (Not) What You Get

Anastasia Ailamaki, Ioannis Alagiannis

The explosion of available data in the last few years has increased the importance of physical database design, since the selection of proper physical structures (e.g. indices, partitions and materialized views) may improve query execution performance by s ...

Enabling effective problem-oriented research for sustainable development

Michael Lehning

Environmental problems caused by human activities are increasing; biodiversity is disappearing at an unprecedented rate, soils are being irreversibly damaged, freshwater is increasingly in short supply, and the climate is changing. To reverse or even to re ...

Tailoring the time-dependent recovery of shape memory polymers

John Christopher Plummer, Charly David Azra

On application of heat, shape memory polymers (SMPs) are able to revert to a primary shape from a secondary shape induced by mechanical deformation. It may be desirable to induce shape recovery at controlled rates under quasi-isothermal conditions, e. g. i ...

Comparison-Based Learning with Rank Nets

Amin Karbasi

We consider the problem of search through comparisons, where a user is presented with two candidate objects and reveals which is closer to her intended target. We study adaptive strategies for finding the target, that require knowledge of rank relationship ...

Online chemical modeling environment (OCHEM): web platform for data storage, model development and publishing of chemical information

Luc Patiny

The Online Chemical Modeling Environment is a web-based platform that aims to automate and simplify the typical steps required for QSAR modeling. The platform consists of two major subsystems: the database of experimental measurements and the modeling fram ...

Here are my Data Files. Here are my Queries. Where are my Results?

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ioannis Alagiannis

Database management systems (DBMS) provide incredible flexibility and performance when it comes to query processing, scalability and accuracy. To fully exploit DBMS features, however, the user must define a schema, load the data, tune the system for the ex ...

CoPhy: A Scalable, Portable, and Interactive Index Advisor for Large Workloads

Anastasia Ailamaki, Debabrata Dash

Index tuning, i.e., selecting the indexes appropriate for a workload, is a crucial problem in database system tuning. In this paper, we solve index tuning for large problem instances that are common in practice, e.g., thousands of queries in the workload, ...

Towards Robust Place Recognition for Robot Localization

Barbara Caputo, Jie Luo

Localization and context interpretation are two key competences for mobile robot systems. Visual place recognition, as opposed to purely geometrical models, holds promise of higher flexibility and association of semantics to the model. Ideally, a place rec ...
