| Abstract | In object-oriented databases (OODBs), a method encapsulated in a class typically accesses a few, but not all the instance variables defined in the class. It may thus be preferable to vertically partition the class for reducing irrelevant data (instance variables) accessed by the methods. Our prior work has shown that vertical class partitioning can result in a substantial decrease in the total number of disk accesses incurred for executing a set of applications, but coming up with an optimal vertical class partitioning scheme is a hard problem. In this paper, we present two algorithms for deriving optimal and near-optimal vertical class partitioning schemes. The cost-driven algorithm provides the optimal vertical class partitioning schemes by enumerating, exhaustively, all the schemes and calculating the number of disk accesses required to execute a given set of applications. For this, a cost model for executing a set of methods in an OODB system is developed. Since exhaustive enumeration is costly and only works for classes with a small number of instance variables, a hill-climbing heuristic algorithm (HCHA) is developed, which takes the solution provided by the affinity-based algorithm and improves it, thereby further reducing the total number of disk accesses incurred. We show that the HCHA algorithm provides a reasonable near-optimal vertical class partitioning scheme for executing a given set of applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
