Technical Reports & Other Documents

Most documents were accompanied by a talk. The respective slides are available by pressing on the talk link. Documents and talks are in gzipped postscript whereas abstracts are in HTML or plain text. Links that are marked with the © sign are not available to the general public, mostly for copyright reasons.

There are documents on the following topics:

  • Parallel and Temporal Joins

  • Parallel Databases

  • Parallel Recursive Query Processing

    • Published documents on my work can be found here.
