Abstract

In the database environment, the mathematical cost models plays a crucial role in evaluating non-functional requirements. These requirements comprise query execution performance, energy consumption, resource dimensioning to name a few applications. One of the main characteristics of cost models is that they follow the evolution of database technologies. The main idea behind the survey papers of cost models is to build a framework of a research topic based on the existing literature. Surveying research papers generally means to collect data and results from other research papers. Therefore, cost models become an obscure entity, because they can not be easily exploited by researchers and students for learning, analysis, reproduction purposes, etc. This research address the challenges of cost model categorization, classification, and summary to provide the readers a good overview of the topic. Our research has introduced ideas from the graph database to enable the analysis of changes in database cost models over time, which will fulfill these requirements. Clusterization of an existing database cost model are very interesting to visualize and to show how cost model are related (e.g., authors, papers, committees and topics). In general, all these graphs will allow the resarchers to trace the evolution of database cost models. We believe that, it is very interesting material and it would be in demand by the database community. Our evaluation, demonstrates all the aforementioned capabilities of the technique.
