Principles of Distributed Database Systems
This third edition of a classic textbook can be used to teach at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The material concentrates on fundamental theories as well as techniques and algorithms. The advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web, and, more recently, the emergence of cloud computing and streaming data applications, has forced a renewal of interest in distributed and parallel data management, while, at the same time, requiring a rethinking of some of the traditional techniques. This book covers the breadth and depth of this re-emerging field. The coverage consists of two parts. The first part discusses the fundamental principles of distributed data management and includes d...
Data Stream Management
Many applications process high volumes of streaming data, among them Internet traffic analysis, financial tickers, and transaction log mining. In general, a data stream is an unbounded data set that is produced incrementally over time, rather than being available in full before its processing begins. In this lecture, we give an overview of recent research in stream processing, ranging from answering simple queries on high-speed streams to loading real-time data feeds into a streaming warehouse for off-line analysis. We will discuss two types of systems for end-to-end stream processing: Data Stream Management Systems (DSMSs) and Streaming Data Warehouses (SDWs). A traditional database managem...
Advances in Multimedia Information Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Mul timedia Information Systems (MIS’98) held in Istanbul, Turkey in September 1998. This workshop builds upon the success of the three previous workshops in this series that were held in Arlington, VA, West Point, NY, and Como, Italy. As in the past, this is a small focused workshop, consisting of participants drawn from a wide variety of disciplines (e. g. theory, algorithms, real time systems, networks, operating sys tems, graphics and visualization, databases, artificial intelligence, etc. ), all of which focus on research on one or more aspects of multimedia systems. The workshop program included 19 technica...
Time-Constrained Transaction Management
Transaction processing is an established technique for the concurrent and fault tolerant access of persistent data. While this technique has been successful in standard database systems, factors such as time-critical applications, emerg ing technologies, and a re-examination of existing systems suggest that the performance, functionality and applicability of transactions may be substan tially enhanced if temporal considerations are taken into account. That is, transactions should not only execute in a "legal" (i.e., logically correct) man ner, but they should meet certain constraints with regard to their invocation and completion times. Typically, these logical and temporal constraints are a...
Workflow Management Systems and Interoperability
Workflow management systems (WFMS) are enjoying increasing popular ity due to their ability to coordinate and streamline complex organizational processes within organizations of all sizes. Organizational processes are de scriptions of an organization's activities engineered to fulfill its mission such as completing a business contract or satisfying a specific customer request. Gaining control of these processes allows an organization to reengineer and improve each process or adapt them to changing requirements. The goal of WFMSs is to manage these organizational processes and coordinate their execution. was demonstrated in the first half The high degree of interest in WFMSs of the 1990s by a...
Stream Data Management
Researchers in data management have recently recognized the importance of a new class of data-intensive applications that requires managing data streams, i.e., data composed of continuous, real-time sequence of items. Streaming applications pose new and interesting challenges for data management systems. Such application domains require queries to be evaluated continuously as opposed to the one time evaluation of a query for traditional applications. Streaming data sets grow continuously and queries must be evaluated on such unbounded data sets. These, as well as other challenges, require a major rethink of almost all aspects of traditional database management systems to support streaming ap...
Advances in Web-Age Information Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Web-Age Information Management, WAIM 2002 held in Beijing, China in August 2002. The 40 papers presented together with two system demonstrations were carefully reviewed and selected from 169 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on XML; spatio-temporal databases; data mining and learning; XML and web; workflows and e-services; bio informatics, views, and OLAP; clustering and high-dimensional data; web search; optimization and updates; and transactions and multimedia.
Sustainability Science for Watershed Landscapes
Proceedings from the International Conference on Sustainability Science for Watershed Landscapes held in Honolulu, Hawaii in November 2007.
Operations Research and Decision Aid Methodologies in Traffic and Transportation Management
This is a collection of state-of-the-art surveys on topics at the interface between transportation modeling and operations research given by leading international experts. Based on contributions to a NATO workshop, the surveys are up-to-date and rigorous presentations or applications of quantitative methods in the area. The subjects covered include dynamic traffic simulation techniques and dynamic routing in congested networks, operation and control of traffic management tools, optimized transportation data collection, and vehicle routing problems.
INTRODUCTION TO PARALLEL PROCESSING
Written with a straightforward and student-centred approach, this extensively revised, updated and enlarged edition presents a thorough coverage of the various aspects of parallel processing including parallel processing architectures, programmability issues, data dependency analysis, shared memory programming, thread-based implementation, distributed computing, algorithms, parallel programming languages, debugging, parallelism paradigms, distributed databases as well as distributed operating systems. The book, now in its second edition, not only provides sufficient practical exposure to the programming issues but also enables its readers to make realistic attempts at writing parallel progra...
