Large Scale and Big Data: Processing and Management provides readers with a central source of reference on the data management techniques currently available for large-scale data processing. Presenting chapters written by leading researchers, academics, and practitioners, it addresses the fundamental challenges associated with Big Data processing t
Entity Resolution (ER) lies at the core of data integration and cleaning and, thus, a bulk of the research examines ways for improving its effectiveness and time efficiency. The initial ER methods primarily target Veracity in the context of structured (relational) data that are described by a schema of well-known quality and meaning. To achieve high effectiveness, they leverage schema, expert, and/or external knowledge. Part of these methods are extended to address Volume, processing large datasets through multi-core or massive parallelization approaches, such as the MapReduce paradigm. However, these early schema-based approaches are inapplicable to Web Data, which abound in voluminous, noi...
This book constitutes revised selected papers from two VLDB workshops: The International Workshop on Polystore Systems for Heterogeneous Data in Multiple Databases with Privacy and Security Assurances, Poly 2022, and the 8th International Workshop on Data Management and Analytics for Medicine and Healthcare, DMAH 2022, which were held virtually on September 9, 2022. The proceedings include 3 full papers each from Poly 2022 and from DMAH 2022. DMAH deals with innovative data management and analytics technologies highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and methods to address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness, with clinical, physiological, imaging, behavioral, environmental, and omic - data, and data from social media and the Web. Poly is focusing on the broader real-world polystore problem, which includes data management, data integration, data curation, privacy, and security.
An in-depth overview of an emerging field that brings together high-performance computing, big data processing, and deep lLearning. Over the last decade, the exponential explosion of data known as big data has changed the way we understand and harness the power of data. The emerging field of high-performance big data computing, which brings together high-performance computing (HPC), big data processing, and deep learning, aims to meet the challenges posed by large-scale data processing. This book offers an in-depth overview of high-performance big data computing and the associated technical issues, approaches, and solutions. The book covers basic concepts and necessary background knowledge, ...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the BIRTE workshops listed below, which were held in in conjunction with VLDB, the International Conference on Very Large Data Bases: 9th International Workshop on Business Intelligence for the Real-Time Enterprise, BIRTE 2015, held in Kohala Coast, Hawaii, in August 2015, 10th International Workshop on Enabling Real-Time Business Intelligence, BIRTE 2016, held in New Delhi, India, in September 2016, 11th International Workshop on Real-Time Business Intelligence and Analytics, BIRTE 2017, held in Munich, Germany, in August 2017. The BIRTE workshop series provides a forum for the discussion and advancement of the science and engineering enabling real-time business intelligence and the novel applications that build on these foundational techniques. The book includes five selected papers from BIRTE 2015; five selected papers from BIRTE 2016; and three selected papers from BIRTE 2017.
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...
A rigorous and comprehensive textbook covering the major approaches to knowledge graphs, an active and interdisciplinary area within artificial intelligence. The field of knowledge graphs, which allows us to model, process, and derive insights from complex real-world data, has emerged as an active and interdisciplinary area of artificial intelligence over the last decade, drawing on such fields as natural language processing, data mining, and the semantic web. Current projects involve predicting cyberattacks, recommending products, and even gleaning insights from thousands of papers on COVID-19. This textbook offers rigorous and comprehensive coverage of the field. It focuses systematically on the major approaches, both those that have stood the test of time and the latest deep learning methods.
In the presence of data and computational resources, machine learning can be used to synthesize software automatically. For example, machines are now capable of learning complicated pattern recognition tasks and sophisticated decision policies, two key capabilities in autonomous cyber-physical systems. Unfortunately, humans find software synthesized by machine learning algorithms difficult to interpret, which currently limits their use in safety-critical applications such as medical diagnosis and avionic systems. In particular, successful deployments of safety-critical systems mandate the execution of rigorous verification activities, which often rely on human insights, e.g., to identify sce...
This book explores the need for a data‐centric AI approach and its application in the multidisciplinary domain, compared to a model‐centric approach. It examines the methodologies for data‐centric approaches, the use of data‐centric approaches in different domains, the need for edge AI and how it differs from cloud‐based AI. It discusses the new category of AI technology, "data‐centric AI" (DCAI), which focuses on comprehending, utilizing, and reaching conclusions from data. By adding machine learning and big data analytics tools, data‐centric AI modifies this by enabling it to learn from data rather than depending on algorithms. It can therefore make wiser choices and deliver ...
Cloud computing has emerged as a successful paradigm of service-oriented computing and has revolutionized the way computing infrastructure is used. This success has seen a proliferation in the number of applications that are being deployed in various cloud platforms. There has also been an increase in the scale of the data generated as well as consumed by such applications. Scalable database management systems form a critical part of the cloud infrastructure. The attempt to address the challenges posed by the management of big data has led to a plethora of systems. This book aims to clarify some of the important concepts in the design space of scalable data management in cloud computing infr...
