Abstract :
The COMFORT project, which is intended to automate the performance tuning of database systems, is discussed. The project addresses several important tuning issues of parallel database systems in a multiuser environment, and it aims to develop general architectural principles for a self-tuning database system. The overall goals and the rationale are examined, and a brief overview of the current work is given
