Materialized view selection is a critical problem in many applications such as query
processing, data warehousing, distributed and semantic web databases, etc. We refer to the …

Materialized views are queries whose results are stored and maintained in order to facilitate
access to data in their underlying base tables. In the SQL setting, they are now considered a …

A new form of caching, namely application-level caching, has been recently employed in
web applications to improve their performance and increase scalability. It consists of the …

Caching is an important technique in scaling storage for high-traffic web applications.
Usually, building caching mechanisms involves significant effort from the application …

Meeting performance and scalability requirements while delivering services is a critical
issue in web applications. Recently, latency and cost of Internet‐based services are …

In this paper, we presented a novel approach for automated 3D face recognition using range
data. An object recognition system generally consists of two main parts: data registration and …

With the rise of scalable, distributed web applications, latency has become a fundamental
challenge for cloud data management. The delays caused by accessing data from cloud …

Our research for this book goes back a long way. It all started as early as 2010 with a
bachelor's thesis on how to make use of the purely expiration-based caching mechanisms of …

The purpose of materialized view selection is to minimize the cost of answering queries and
fast query response time for timely access to information and decision support. Besides …

In many cases, if something is done once, it can be reused faster or by a lower cost. Such
dependencies occur in data processing, software development, project planning, machine …
