Workflows may be defined as abstractions used to model the coherent flow of activities in the context of an in silico scientific experiment. They are employed in many domains of science such as bioinformatics, astronomy, and engineering. Such workflows usually present a considerable number of activities and activations (i.e., tasks associated with activities) and may need a long time for execution. Due to the continuous need to store and process data efficiently (making them data-intensive workflows), high-performance computing environments allied to parallelization techniques are used to run these workflows. At the beginning of the 2010s, cloud technologies emerged as a promising environmen...
The 7 revised full papers, 11 revised medium-length papers, 6 revised short, and 7 demo papers presented together with 10 poster/abstract papers describing late-breaking work were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Provenance has been recognized to be important in a wide range of areas including databases, workflows, knowledge representation and reasoning, and digital libraries. Thus, many disciplines have proposed a wide range of provenance models, techniques, and infrastructure for encoding and using provenance. The papers investigate many facets of data provenance, process documentation, data derivation, and data annotation.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Resource Discovery, RED 2010, held in Paris, France, in November 2010. The 13 revised full papers - from 24 initial submissions - were carefully selected during a second round of reviewing and improvement from the lectures given at the workshop and are presented in extended version in the book. They deal with the following topics: resource discovery for composition; bioinformatics resource discovery; textual resource discovery; and Web service discovery.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on High Performance Computing for Computational Science, VECPAR 2010, held in Berkeley, CA, USA, in June 2010. The 34 revised full papers presented together with five invited contributions were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on linear algebra and solvers on emerging architectures, large-scale simulations, parallel and distributed computing, numerical algorithms.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management, SSDBM 2009, held in New Orleans, LA, USA in June 2009. The 29 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers including poster and demo papers presented together with three invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on improving the end-user experience, indexing, physical design, and energy, application experience, workflow, query processing, similarity search, mining, as well as spatial data.
This book constitutes revised selected papers of the 7th Latin American High Performance Computing Conference, CARLA 2020, held in Cuenca, Ecuador, in September 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held in a virtual mode. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected out of 36 submissions. The papers included in this book are organized according to the topics on High Performance Computing Applications; High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
The balance of economic and political powers is indeed changing. Newer powers like China are emerging through shared economic partnerships and this creates opportunities to grow and brings about new challenges in the stability, growth, and security of regional and global economy. The economic synergy of the Belt and Road is evolving, and it is resonating and impacting geopolitics, geoeconomics, and geostrategies. Central Asia is the new frontier, and it has the capacity to become a major global contributor. A heightened sense of continuum economic realization through collaboration is capable of bringing and showing prosperity and progress to the larger region. The work made in this research ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Big Data Analytics and Knowledge Discovery, DaWaK 2017, held in Lyon, France, in August 2017. The 24 revised full papers and 11 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 97 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: new generation data warehouses design; cloud and NoSQL databases; advanced programming paradigms; non-functional requirements satisfaction; machine learning; social media and twitter analysis; sentiment analysis and user influence; knowledge discovery; and data flow management and optimization.
This book aims to introduce big data solutions in urban sustainability applications—mainly smart transportation and healthcare systems. It focuses on machine learning techniques and data processing approaches which have the capacity to handle/process huge, live, and complex datasets in real-time transportation and healthcare applications. For this, several state-of-the-art data processing approaches including data pre-processing, classification, regression, and clustering are introduced, tested, and evaluated to highlight their benefits and constraints where data is sensitive, real-time, and/or semi-structured.
