Rank-aware Query Optimization

Summary: Rank-aware query optimization framework integrating rank-join operators into relational engines, extending System R's dynamic programming with ranking-driven enumeration and pruning. Proposes a probabilistic model to estimate input cardinality and rank-join cost—the first to optimize input size for rank aggregation—validated on an open-source DBMS.
