Francesca Bugiotti: A model oriented approach to heterogeneity

When: Friday, March 21, at 14.00 Where: PCRI building, room 445 Who: Francesca Bugiotti Title: A model oriented approach to heterogeneity Abstract: Data heterogeneity is a major issue in any context where software directly deals with data. The most general expectation of any complex system is the so-called seamless integration, where data can be accessed, …

Jesús Camacho-Rodríguez: PAXQuery : Efficient Parallel Processing of Complex XQuery

10.00, room 455, PCRI Abstract Increasing volumes of data are being produced and exchanged over the Web, in particular in tree-structured formats such as XML or JSON. This leads to a need of highly scalable algorithms and tools for processing such data, capable to take advantage of massively parallel processing frameworks. This work considers the …

Asterios Katsifodimos: Scalable View-based Techniques for Web Data : Algorithms and Systems

16.30, room 435, PCRI Abstract XML was recommended by W3C in 1998 as a markup language to be used by device- and system-independent methods of representing information. XML is nowadays used as a data model for storing and querying large volumes of data in database systems. In spite of significant research and systems development, many …

Dario Colazzo: Processing XML Queries and Updates on Map/Reduce Clusters

14.30, room 435, PCRI Abstract Very large XML documents are generated and processed in several contexts, in particular in those involving scientific data and logs. In order to process such large documents we have designed and implemented techniques based on data partitioning for the evaluation of XQuery queries and updates on Map/Reduce clusters. The proposed …

Melanie Herschel: The Nautilus Analyzer – Understanding and Debugging Data Transformations

14.00, room 445, PCRI Abstract When developing data transformations – a task omnipresent in applications like data integration, data migration, data cleaning, or scientific data processing – developers quickly face the need to verify the semantic correctness of the transformation. Declarative specifications of data transformations, e.g., SQL or ETL~tools, increase developer productivity but usually provide …

Katerina Tzompanaki: Design and Implementation of a tool for formulating recall-oriented structured queries on semantic networks

14.00, room 455, PCRI Abstract In the recent years there is a trend towards the creation of massive metadata repositories, usually based on the RDF/S technology, as in the domain of cultural heritage. ISO21127 (CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model) is a rich conceptual model (or ontology) capable of describing the world stored in such repositories. Simpler …
