The COMFORT Prototype: A Step Towards Automated Database Performance Tuning
Summary: Automates database performance tuning by deriving heuristics from quantitative models and embedding them in a self-tuning, workload-adaptive architecture. Covers data placement, load control, parallelization, and processor allocation for multi-user OLTP with minimal human intervention. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
