The P=NP question is one of the greatest problems of science, which has intrigued computer scientists and mathematicians for decades. Despite the abundant research in theoretical computer science regarding the P=NP question, it has not been solved. This book covers historical developments (including the Gödel's lost letter), the importance of P=NP and the future of P=NP. This guide is also based on a new blog by the author, located at: http://rjlipton.wordpress.com -- Back cover.

Abstract: "Commonly, a few objects in a database account for a large share of all database accesses. These objects are called hot spots. The ability to determine which objects are hot spots opens the door to a variety of performance improvements. Data reorganization, migration, and replication techniques can take advantage of knowledge of hot spots to improve performance at low cost. In this paper we present some techniques that can be used to identify those objects in the database that account for more than a specified percentage of database accesses. Identification is accomplished by analyzing a string of database references and collecting statistics.

Abstract: "Recently we have proposed an adaptive, random sampling algorithm for general query size estimation. In earlier work we analyzed the asymptotic efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm; in this paper we investigate its practicality as applied to selects and joins. First, we extend our previous analysis to provide significantly improved bounds on the amount of sampling necessary for a given level of accuracy. Next, we provide 'sanity bounds' to deal with queries for which the underlying data is extremely skewed or the query result is very small. Finally, we report on the performance of the estimation algorithm as implemented in a host language on a commercial relational system. The results are encouraging, even with this loose coupling between the estimation algorithm and the DBMS."

Abstract: "We compare bounded round multi-prover interactive proof systems (MIP's) with unbounded round interactive proof systems (IPS's). We show that for any constant [epsilon], any language accepted by an unbounded round IPS has a bounded round, 2-prover MIP that has error probability [epsilon], resolving an open problem of Fortnow, Rompel and Sipser [7]. To obtain this result, we show that a certain 1-round MIP that simulates the computation of an unbounded round IPS can be executed many times in parallel to significantly reduce its probability of error."

Abstract: "We show how to efficiently compute hash functions that are invariant under permutations. These hash functions have a variety of applications to distributed computing problems."
