An Algebraic Approach for Data-Centric Scientific Workflows
Summary: Algebraic approach inspired by relational algebra, plus a parallel execution model to automatically optimize data-centric scientific workflows. Validated on oil-exploitation and synthetic data with the Chiron engine, achieving up to 226% speedup vs ad-hoc implementations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
