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

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...

An investigation into the relationships between area social characteristics and road accident casualties (1997)
Journal Article
Abdalla, I. M., Raeside, R., Barker, D., & McGuigan, D. R. (1997). An investigation into the relationships between area social characteristics and road accident casualties. Accident analysis and prevention, 29(5), 583-593. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0001-4575%2897%2900011-0

This paper reports on the analysis of a data base created by merging road casualty information and census data for the former Lothian region in Scotland. The data base was established by assigning resident postcodes to each casualty record and relati...
