The future of software engineering lies in automation and will exploit the combined strengths of generative programming, domain-specific languages, and automatic programming. While each of these areas is still in its infancy, a spectacularly successful example of their combination was realized twenty-five years ago: relational query optimization. In this paper, I chart the successes and mindset...

Using THEMIS, MOC and MOLA data, we have found 120 craters in the diameter range 6 11.2 km that have unusually high depth/diameter (d/D) ratios (i.e., 0.0012) within southwestern Utopia Planitia and Isidis Planitia, Mars (Figure 1). Previous studies [1, 2, 3] noted a concentration of deep simple craters located mainly in SW Utopia Planitia suggesting that the deep simple craters could be caused...
