Abstract—Detecting compact overlapping communities in large networks is an important pattern recognition problem with applications in many domains. Most community detection algorithms trade-off between community sizes, their compactness and the scalability of finding communities. Clique Percolation

the literature review, the methodology section discusses several phases in the research design. A key element in obtaining rigorous results was the use of a "tight" learning loop-every new insight or practical recommendation learned was immediately included in the set of working findings

and sample size into account in a fashion almost identical to that involved in BIC. The second term is given by: Although more sophisticated than AIC and BIC, more widespread use of FIA and NML has been hampered by the difficulty of computing the indices. Computing NML involves processing all data patterns

These effective programs were conducted among younger adolescents 12.33-13.62 years, and included activities focusing on media literacy, self esteem, and the influence of peers. Implications

ii iv vTo my parents vi vii Acknowledgements I would first and foremost extend my whole-hearted gratitude to my advisors, An-drea Arpaci-Dusseau and Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau. Andrea and Remzi are the reason that I had the opportunity for this exceptional Ph.D. journey. To this day, I still re-member the moment when they took me as their student and the joy and hope in my heart. Andrea and Remzi have showed me what systems research is like and how much fun and challenging it can be. Before this journey with them, I had always liked and believed in the beauty of mathematics and theory. My initial interest in systems research happened when I took Remzi’s Advanced Operating Systems

Abstract Supporting database schema evolution repre-sents a long-standing challenge of practical and theoretical importance for modern information systems. In this paper, we describe techniques and systems for automating the critical tasks of migrating the database and rewriting the legacy applications. In addition to labor saving, the ben-efits delivered by these advances are many and include reliable prediction of outcome, minimization of downtime, system-produced documentation, and support for archiving, historical queries, and provenance. The PRISM/PRISM++ system delivers these benefits, by solving the difficult prob-lem of automating the migration of databases and the rewrit-ing of queries and updates. In this paper, we present the PRISM/PRISM++ system and the novel technology that made it possible. In particular, we focus on the difficult and previously unsolved problem of supporting legacy queries and updates under schema and integrity constraints evolution. The PRISM/PRISM++ approach consists in providing the users with a set of SQL-based Schema Modification Opera-tors (SMOs), which describe how the tables in the old schema are modified into those in the new schema. In order to sup-port updates, SMOs are extended with integrity constraints
