Federated database systems for managing distributed, heterogeneous, and autonomous databases

by Amit P. Sheth, James A. Larson - ACM Computing Surveys , 1990
"... A federated database system (FDBS) is a collection of cooperating database systems that are autonomous and possibly heterogeneous. In this paper, we define a reference architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures c ..."

Access path selection in a relational database management system

by P. Griffiths Selinger, M. M. Astrahan, D. D. Chamberlin, It. A. Lorie, T. G. Price , 1979
"... ABSTRACT: In a high level query and data manipulation language such as SQL, requests are stated non-procedurally, without reference to access paths. This paper describes how System R chooses access paths for both simple (single relation) and complex queries (such as joins), given a user specificatio ..."

specification of desired data as a boolean expression of predicates. System R is an experimental database management system developed to carry out research on the relational model of data. System R was designed and built by members of the IBM San Jose Research'Laboratory. 1.

Query evaluation techniques for large databases

by Goetz Graefe - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1993
"... Database management systems will continue to manage large data volumes. Thus, efficient algorithms for accessing and manipulating large sets and sequences will be required to provide acceptable performance. The advent of object-oriented and extensible database systems will not solve this problem. On ..."

Tinydb: An acquisitional query processing system for sensor networks

by Samuel R. Madden, Michael J. Franklin, Joseph M. Hellerstein, Wei Hong - ACM Trans. Database Syst , 2005
"... We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired (sampled) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acq ..."

Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Open Network Systems

by Jennifer G. Steiner, Clifford Neuman, Jeffrey I. Schiller - IN USENIX CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS , 1988
"... In an open network computing environment, a workstation cannot be trusted to identify its users correctly to network services. Kerberos provides an alternative approach whereby a trusted third-party authentication service is used to verify users’ identities. This paper gives an overview of the Kerb ..."

of the Kerberos authentication model as implemented for MIT’s Project Athena. It describes the protocols used by clients, servers, and Kerberos to achieve authentication. It also describes the management and replication of the database required. The views of Kerberos as seen by the user, programmer

The Ponder Policy Specification Language

by Nicodemos Damianou , Naranker Dulay , Emil Lupu , Morris Sloman - LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE , 2001
"... The Ponder language provides a common means of specifying security policies that map onto various access control implementation mechanisms for firewalls, operating systems, databases and Java. It supports obligation policies that are event triggered conditionaction rules for policy based management ..."

Lottery Scheduling: Flexible Proportional-Share Resource Management

by Carl A. Waldspurger, William E. Weihl , 1994
"... This paper presents lottery scheduling, a novel randomized resource allocation mechanism. Lottery scheduling provides efficient, responsive control over the relative execution rates of computations. Such control is beyond the capabilities of conventional schedulers, and is desirable in systems that ..."
Abstract - Cited by 480 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
that service requests of varying importance, such as databases, media-based applications, and networks. Lottery scheduling also supports modular resource management by enabling concurrent modules to insulate their resource allocation policies from one another. A currency abstraction is introduced to flexibly

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques

by Jiawei Han, Micheline Kamber , 2000
"... Our capabilities of both generating and collecting data have been increasing rapidly in the last several decades. Contributing factors include the widespread use of bar codes for most commercial products, the computerization of many business, scientific and government transactions and managements, a ..."

Answering Queries Using Views: A Survey

by Alon Y. Halevy , 2000
"... The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously defined materialized views over the database, rather than accessing the database relations. The problem has recently received significant attention because of its relevance to a w ..."
