- Schedule
- Research:
- Publications
(My entry in the DBLP bibliography)
- Research: My main research area is database systems .
Current sub areas of interest include
- Query processing and optimization. Specific topics include:
- optimization of nested iteration, and iterative invocation of queries
by creating batched bindings. This work spans the boundaries of
programming language static analysis and database query optimization.
- query optimization in the
context of fine-grained authorization, and materialized views.
- For more details about work on query optimization in IIT Bombay, including
earlier work on multiquery optimization and parametric query optimization, look
here
- Testing database applications, including test data generation to ensure correctness
of queries, and checking for serializablity of applications running under
weak levels of consistency. For more details, look
here
- Keyword querying in databases
Soumen Chakrabarti and I lead the
BANKS project,
which aims at supporting keyword queries on relational and
XML databases.
- Earlier areas included and Main Memory Databases
(I was one of the founders of the DataBlitz main memory database
project in Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill).
I also worked on failure recovery
error checking and fault tolerance issues, particularly in
main memory databases.
