* Professor Ozkarahan was one of the pioneers of database
machine research as well as the founder of database systems research in Turkey.
Moreover, his studies centered on database machines to which he made significant
contributions. Professor Ozkarahan is well known for his pioneering work on
the RAP (Relational Associative Processor) database machine. He designed RAP
to provide hardware implementations of relational databases. RAP includes
all the relational algebra operations, and an implicit form of the semi join
operation that later became the cornerstone of query optimization in relational
databases.
Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Esen Ozkarahan and working with him
will always remember his great vision, eminent achievements, and generous
friendship.
