TLDR
The Garlic architecture is designed to be extensible to new kinds of data repositories, and access efficiency is addressed via a "middleware" query processor that uses database query optimization techniques to exploit the native associative search capabilities of the underlying data repositories.Abstract:
Provides an overview of the Garlic project, a new project at the IBM Almaden Research Center. The goal of this project is to develop a system and associated tools for the management of large quantities of heterogeneous multimedia information. Garlic permits traditional and multimedia data to he stored in a variety of existing data repositories, including databases, files, text managers, image managers, video servers, and so on; the data is seen through a unified schema expressed in an object-oriented data model and can be queried and manipulated using an object-oriented dialect of SQL, perhaps through an advanced query/browser tool that we are also developing. The Garlic architecture is designed to be extensible to new kinds of data repositories, and access efficiency is addressed via a "middleware" query processor that uses database query optimization techniques to exploit the native associative search capabilities of the underlying data repositories. >read more

TL;DR: The tutorial is focused on some of the theoretical issues that are relevant for data integration: modeling a data integration application, processing queries in data integration, dealing with inconsistent data sources, and reasoning on queries.

Optimal aggregation algorithms for middleware
TL;DR: An elegant and remarkably simple algorithm ("the threshold algorithm", or TA) is analyzed that is optimal in a much stronger sense than FA, and is essentially optimal, not just for some monotone aggregation functions, but for all of them, and not just in a high-probability worst-case sense, but over every database.

The state of the art in distributed query processing
TL;DR: The paper presents the “textbook” architecture for distributed query processing and a series of techniques that are particularly useful for distributed database systems, and discusses different kinds of distributed systems such as client-server, middleware (multitier), and heterogeneous database systems and shows how query processing works in these systems.

Photobook: tools for content-based manipulation of image databases
TL;DR: The Photobook system is described, which is a set of interactive tools for browsing and searching images and image sequences that differ from those used in standard image databases in that they make direct use of the image content rather than relying on annotations.
