Hybrid complex analytics workloads typically include (i) data management tasks (joins, selections, etc. ), easily expressed using relational algebra (RA)-based languages, and (ii) complex analytics tasks (regressions, matrix decompositions,…
In recent years, the increased need to house and process large volumes of data has prompted the need for distributed storage and querying systems. The growth of machine-readable RDF triples has prompted both industry and academia to develop…
The last five years have seen the rapid rise in popularity of what we term internet distributed applications (IDAs). These are internet applications with which many users interact simultaneously. IDAs range from P2P file-sharing…
This work presents MeKDDaM-SAGA, computer-aided automation software for implementing a novel knowledge discovery and data mining process model that was designed for performing justifiable, traceable and reproducible metabolomics data…
SQL-on-Hadoop systems, query optimization, data distribution over multiple nodes and parallelization techniques are few of the areas under extreme research these days. Big names like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and many more are working on…
Recent work on database application development platforms has sought to include a declarative formulation of a conceptual data model in the application code, using annotations or attributes. Some recent work has used metadata to include the…
Large-scale scientific collaborations, such as the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at CERN, produce a vast and ever-growing corpus of internal documentation. Navigating this complex information landscape presents a significant challenge for…
Data-intensive platforms such as Hadoop and Spark are routinely used to process massive amounts of data residing on distributed file systems like HDFS. Increasing memory sizes and new hardware technologies (e.g., NVRAM, SSDs) have recently…
Computational experiments have become essential for scientific discovery, allowing researchers to test hypotheses, analyze complex datasets, and validate findings. However, as computational experiments grow in scale and complexity, ensuring…
Many managed key-value and NoSQL databases - such as Amazon DynamoDB, Azure Cosmos DB, and Google Cloud Firestore - enforce strict maximum item sizes (e.g., 400 KB in DynamoDB). This constraint imposes significant architectural challenges…
There is an increasing interest in the development of new data-driven models useful to assess the performance of communication networks. For many applications, like network monitoring and troubleshooting, a data model is of little use if it…
Data management is becoming increasingly important in dealing with the large amounts of data produced by large-scale scientific simulations and instruments. Existing multilevel compression algorithms offer a promising way to manage…
In order to make results of computational scientific research findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, it is necessary to decorate them with standardised metadata. However, there are a number of technical and practical challenges…
Data intensive applications often involve the analysis of large datasets that require large amounts of compute and storage resources. While dedicated compute and/or storage farms offer good task/data throughput, they suffer low resource…
Most distributed storage systems provide limited abilities for querying data by attributes other than their primary keys. Supporting efficient search on secondary attributes is challenging as applications pose varying requirements to query…
Data-driven research is increasingly ubiquitous and data itself is a defining asset for researchers, particularly in the computational social sciences and humanities. Entire careers and research communities are built around valuable,…
An increasing number of high-performance distributed systems are written in garbage collected languages. This removes a large class of harmful bugs from these systems. However, it also introduces high tail-latency do to garbage collection…
The Galactica simulation database is a platform designed to assist computational astrophysicists with their open science approach based on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. It offers the means to publish their…
The outcome of the explorative data analysis (EDA) phase is vital for successful data analysis. EDA is more effective when the user interacts with the system used to carry out the exploration. In the recently proposed paradigm of iterative…
Tabular data is the most abundant data type in the world, powering systems in finance, healthcare, e-commerce, and beyond. As tabular datasets grow and span multiple related targets, there is an increasing need to exploit shared task…
