Large join order optimization on parallel shared-nothing database machines using genetic algorithms (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nafjan, K. A., & Kerridge, J. M. (1997). Large join order optimization on parallel shared-nothing database machines using genetic algorithms. In Euro-Par'97 Parallel Processing: Third International Euro-Par Conference Passau, Germany, August 26–29, 199

This paper proposes the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) for optimizing the sequence of large joins execution on parallel shared-nothing database architectures. In order to measure the suitability of this method we compare the GA that we have specific...

Distance estimation in minimal virtual reality environments. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (1997). Distance estimation in minimal virtual reality environments. In Proceedings of the 4th UK VR-SIG Conference

This paper reports on an experimental study into distance estimation in a simple virtual environment. The results have been then compared with an experimental study of spatial cognition in the real world. It is concluded that the minimal virtual envi...

Costing and pricing in the digital age: a practical guide for information services. (1997)
Book
Snyder, H., & Davenport, E. (1997). Costing and pricing in the digital age: a practical guide for information services. Neal-Schuman Publishers

The take-up of electronic information services has been retarded as much by the novel aspects of the pricing and accounting of resources they represent as by fear of technology or tight budgets. Library provision poses special problems as it must acc... Read More about Costing and pricing in the digital age: a practical guide for information services..
