Query Evaluation Techniques for Data Integration Systems
In this work we present novel query evaluation techniques for data integration systems in different environments, ranging from a central data-warehouse approach, over distributed virtual market places, to peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Based on a new distributed evaluation technique, the so-called …

Evaluation Techniques for Mapping IPs on FPGAs
… lack of early design space exploration tools and techniques for FPGA designs. This thesis develops techniques to evaluate systematically, the available design options before the actual system implementation. The aspect which makes this problem interesting, yet complicated, is that a system-level …
