Towards Creating Application-Specific Database Management Systems

Summary: Proposes automatically deriving application-specific DBMS behavior via program analysis and synthesis to extract "application contexts" (program paths, queries, parameters, frequencies, post‑processing). Uses these contexts for contextual query processing, discovering functional dependencies, specializing UDFs/operators, and hardware-aware tuning of DBMS internals.
