A multidimensional database is a data repository that supports the efficient execution of
complex business decision queries. Query response can be significantly improved by …

Internet programming languages such as Java present new challenges to garbage-
collection design. The spectrum of garbage-collection schema for linked structures …

We present the spectrum of distributed garbage collection techniques. We first describe
those reference counting-based techniques and compare them, in particular with respect to …

A new garbage collection algorithm for distributed object systems, called DMOS (Distributed.
Mature Object Space), is presented. It is derived from two previous algorithms, MOS (Mature …

The overall goal of the Emerald garbage collection scheme is to provide an efficient “on-the-
fly” garbage collection in a distributed object-based system that collects all garbage. and that …

Abstract Systems that store objects at a large number of sites require faulttolerant and timely
garbage collection. A popular technique is to trace each site independently using inter-site …

Many algorithms for storage reclamatiol~ in loosely-coupled systems have been based on
ma. rk-sca. n garbage collection. This is an expensive process for distributed systems …

Distributed reference counting is a general purpose technique, which may be used, eg, to
detect termination of distributed programs or to implement distributed garbage collection. We …

The Java RMI collector is arguably the most widely used distributed garbage collector. Its
distributed reference listing algorithm was introduced by Birrell et al. in the context of …
