Towards Predicting Query Execution Time for Concurrent and Dynamic Database Workloads

Summary: Analytic framework for predicting query time under dynamic concurrency; uses optimizer cost model to estimate pipeline I/O and CPU. Merges I/O/CPU requests with queueing and buffer-pool models to predict total running time; ML baselines competitive. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
