The research paper "Towards Unifying Query Interpretation and Compilation" has been accepted for publication at CIDR 2023.

Researchers from the Database Systems and Information Management (DIMA) Group at TU Berlin presented a research paper at the Conference on Innovative Data System Research (CIDR 2023) that took place from the 8th through the 11th of January 2023 in Amsterdam, Netherland.

The paper titled "Towards Unifying Query Interpretation and Compilation” by Philipp M. Grulich, Aljoscha P. Lepping, Dwi Nugroho, Varun Pandey, Bonaventura Del Monte, Steffen Zeuch, Volker Markl investigate novel approaches for the development of execution engines that provide the advantages of query compilation without sacrificing developer productivity. In particular, the paper tackles challenges that arise in managing query execution engines, including managing high engineering effort and navigating a large design space of the execution engine. To this end, the paper focus on three aspects, i.e., revisiting the implementation interface for data processing operators in query-compilation-based engines, investigate compiler techniques, such as tracing and partial evaluation, to translate imperative operators to a unified intermediate representation, and provide the components of the query execution engine as extendable and composable modules.

The conference showcased papers with innovative ideas on the future of data systems, providing attendees with the latest developments and possibilities. The topics discussed ranged from database system foundations to transactions, abstraction, machine learning, and cloud systems. Furthermore, the conference offered an ideal opportunity for attendees to interact with people from both industry and academia, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge-sharing and insight.
