Visualizing the robustness of query execution

Summary: Proposes visualization 'robustness maps' that plot plan/operator performance across varying runtime conditions (selectivities, memory), exposing sensitivity to estimation errors. Uses these maps on three real DBMSs to compare degradation behaviors, pinpoint implementation pathologies, and motivate execution-layer fixes or adaptive operators.
