Application programmers increasingly prefer distributed storage systems with strong
consistency and distributed transactions (eg, Google's Spanner) for their strong guarantees …

Database system benchmarks like TPC-C and TPC-E focus on emulating database
applications to compare different DBMS implementations. These benchmarks use carefully …

Many transactions in web applications are constructed ad hoc in the application code. For
example, developers might explicitly use locking primitives or validation procedures to …

The last few years have seen a drastic increase in the amount and the heterogeneity of
NoSQL data stores. Consequently, exploration and comparison of these data stores have …

Typical cloud computing systems provide highly scalable and fault-tolerant data stores that
may sacrifice other features like general multi-item transaction support. Recently techniques …

Maritime shipping is a complex process because it requires a continuous analysis of huge
amounts of information. Much of this information has variable spatial and temporal …

In order to handle the database load for web scale applications, the conventional wisdom is
that a cluster of database servers and a caching layer are essential. In this work, we argue …

Many transactions in web applications are constructed ad hoc in the application code. For
example, developers might explicitly use locking primitives or validation procedures to …

Since NoSQL emerged a decade ago, it has rapidly gained popularity and has been actively
incorporated into data management solutions for big data. This phenomenon brings positive …

Modern database systems suffer from compromised throughput, persistent unfair I/O
processing and unpredictable, high latency variability of user requests as a result of …
