In main memory databases, fuzzy checkpointing gives less transaction overhead due to its asynchronous backup feature. However, till now, fuzzy checkpointing has considered only physical logging schemes. The size of the physical log records is very large, and hence it incurs space and recovery processing overhead. In this paper, we propose a recovery method based on a hybrid logging scheme, whic...

This thesis work concerns the area of automated acquisition of planning domain models from one or more examples of plans within the domain under study. It assumes that an adequate domain model for a domain can be composed of objects arranged in collections called object sorts. Recently, two systems have had success in using this underlying assumption: the Opmaker2 system (McCluskey et al. 2009)...
