dbTouch: Analytics at your Fingertips
Summary: dbTouch: touch-centric DB kernels mapping visual gestures to operators over data subsets, enabling progressive, continuously refined exploration without SQL expertise. Core novelty: user-driven dataflow and partial on-demand processing (iPad prototype), raising DB research problems in incremental operators, scheduling, and UI–query co-design.
