Clustering aims to group unlabeled objects based on similarity inherent among them into clusters. It is important for many tasks such as anomaly detection, database sharding, record linkage, and others. Some clustering methods are taken as…
Grid computing is a computation methodology using group of clusters connected over high-speed networks that involves coordinating and sharing computational power, data storage and network resources. Integrating a set of clusters of…
This paper outlines certain scenarios from the fields of astrophysics and fluid dynamics simulations which require high performance data warehouses that support array data type. A common feature of all these use cases is that subsetting and…
Most research on data discovery has so far focused on improving individual discovery operators such as join, correlation, or union discovery. However, in practice, a combination of these techniques and their corresponding indexes may be…
In-database machine learning has been very popular, almost being a cliche. However, can we do it the other way around? In this work, we say "yes" by applying plain old SQL to deep learning, in a sense implementing deep learning algorithms…
Quantum computing is poised to dramatically change the computational landscape, worldwide. Quantum computers can solve complex problems that are, at least in some cases, beyond the ability of even advanced future classical-style computers.…
The vast amount of processing power and memory bandwidth provided by modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) make them a platform for data-intensive applications. The database community identified GPUs as effective co-processors for data…
Many industries rely on visual insights to support decision- making processes in their businesses. In mining, the analysis of drills and geological shapes, represented as 3D geometries, is an important tool to assist geologists on the…
The present status of Galactic Globular Clusters Database is briefly reviewed. The features implemented at the time writing are described, as well as plans for future improvements.
With the widespread availability of high-speed networks, it becomes feasible to outsource computing to remote providers and to federate resources from many locations. Such observations motivated the development, from the mid-1990s onwards,…
Multi-criteria decision making has been made possible with the advent of skyline queries. However, processing such queries for high dimensional datasets remains a time consuming task. Real-time applications are thus infeasible, especially…
With the continuous increase of online services as well as energy costs, energy consumption becomes a significant cost factor for the evaluation of data center operations. A significant contributor to that is the performance of database…
This paper explores the methodologies, challenges, and expected advantages related to the use of the information-centric network (ICN) technology for federating spatial databases. ICN services allow simplifying the design of federation…
Non-relational databases are the common means of data storage in the Cloud, and optimizing the data access is of paramount importance into determining the overall Cloud system performance. In this paper, we present GAIA, a novel model for…
Grid computing has made substantial advances during the last decade. Grid middleware such as Globus has contributed greatly in making this possible. There are, however, significant barriers to the adoption of Grid computing in other fields,…
Grading SQL queries can be a time-consuming, tedious and challenging task, especially as the number of student submissions increases. Several systems have been introduced in an attempt to mitigate these challenges, but those systems have…
In this paper, we emphasize the need for data cleansing when clustering large-scale transaction databases and propose a new data cleansing method that improves clustering quality and performance. We evaluate our data cleansing method…
We posit that striving for distributed systems that provide "single system image" semantics is fundamentally flawed and at odds with how systems operate in the physical world. We realize the database as an optimization of this system: a…
Digital world is growing very fast and become more complex in the volume (terabyte to petabyte), variety (structured and un-structured and hybrid), velocity (high speed in growth) in nature. This refers to as Big Data that is a global…
Cloud computing is one of the most exciting IT trends nowadays. It poses several challenges on application integration with respect to, for example, security. In this work we collect and categorize several new integration patterns and…
