Scientific and Statistical Database Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management, SSDBM 2012, held in Chania, Grete, Greece, in June 2012. The 25 long and 10 short papers presented together with 2 keynotes, 1 panel, and 13 demonstration and poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The topics covered are uncertain and probabilistic data, parallel and distributed data management, graph processing, mining multidimensional data, provenance and workflows, processing scientific queries, and support for demanding applications.
Performance Characterization and Benchmarking. Traditional to Big Data
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th TPC Technology Conference, TPCTC 2014, held in Hangzhou, China, in September 2014. It contains 12 selected peer-reviewed papers, a report from the TPC Public Relations Committee. Many buyers use TPC benchmark results as points of comparison when purchasing new computing systems. The information technology landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, challenging industry experts and researchers to develop innovative techniques for evaluation, measurement and characterization of complex systems. The TPC remains committed to developing new benchmark standards to keep pace and one vehicle for achieving this objective is the sponsorship of the Technology Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking (TPCTC). Over the last five years TPCTC has been held successfully in conjunction with VLDB.
Linked Data Visualization
Linked Data (LD) is a well-established standard for publishing and managing structured information on the Web, gathering and bridging together knowledge from different scientific and commercial domains. The development of Linked Data Visualization techniques and tools has been followed as the primary means for the analysis of this vast amount of information by data scientists, domain experts, business users, and citizens. This book covers a wide spectrum of visualization issues, providing an overview of the recent advances in this area, focusing on techniques, tools, and use cases of visualization and visual analysis of LD. It presents the basic concepts related to data visualization and the...
Advances in Databases and Information Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 17th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2013, held in Genoa, Italy, in September 2013. The 26 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully selected and reviewed from 92 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on ontologies; indexing; data mining; OLAP; XML data processing; querying; similarity search; GPU; querying in parallel architectures; performance evaluation; distributed architectures.
Cloud Data Management
In practice, the design and architecture of a cloud varies among cloud providers. We present a generic evaluation framework for the performance, availability and reliability characteristics of various cloud platforms. We describe a generic benchmark architecture for cloud databases, specifically NoSQL database as a service. It measures the performance of replication delay and monetary cost. Service Level Agreements (SLA) represent the contract which captures the agreed upon guarantees between a service provider and its customers. The specifications of existing service level agreements (SLA) for cloud services are not designed to flexibly handle even relatively straightforward performance and...
Faceted Search
Explores the history, theory, and practice of faceted search. This aim of this volume is to provide sufficient depth and breadth to offer a useful resource to both researchers and practitioners. It offers a self-contained treatment of the topic, with an extensive bibliography for those who would like to pursue particular aspects in more depth.
Preliminary Observations on Information Technology Needs and Priorities at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Increasingly, the core mission of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, is expanding from one of focusing on prompt claims payment to one of becoming more broadly involved in improving health care quality and efficiency. The requirements for the information technology (IT) systems of CMS are changing as its mission changes, and the efforts to evolve its systems from those designed to support the agency's historical mission come in the midst of a push to modernize the nation's health care IT more broadly. These new challenges arise even as CMS must meet challenging day-to-day operational requirements and make frequent a...
Database Internals
When it comes to choosing, using, and maintaining a database, understanding its internals is essential. But with so many distributed databases and tools available today, it’s often difficult to understand what each one offers and how they differ. With this practical guide, Alex Petrov guides developers through the concepts behind modern database and storage engine internals. Throughout the book, you’ll explore relevant material gleaned from numerous books, papers, blog posts, and the source code of several open source databases. These resources are listed at the end of parts one and two. You’ll discover that the most significant distinctions among many modern databases reside in subsys...
Instant Recovery with Write-Ahead Logging
Traditional theory and practice of write-ahead logging and of database recovery techniques revolve around three failure classes: transaction failures resolved by rollback; system failures (typically software faults) resolved by restart with log analysis, “redo,” and “undo” phases; and media failures (typically hardware faults) resolved by restore operations that combine multiple types of backups and log replay. The recent addition of single-page failures and single-page recovery has opened new opportunities far beyond its original aim of immediate, lossless repair of single-page wear-out in novel or traditional storage hardware. In the contexts of system and media failures, efficient...
