WiSeDB: A Learning-based Workload Management Advisor for Cloud Databases

Summary: WiSeDB jointly learns query placement, scheduling, and resource provisioning for cloud databases, optimizing application-defined performance goals and cost rather than a single metric. Decision-tree models support batch/online control and adapt efficiently to changed goals with minimal retraining. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
