Before heading off for the summer holidays, we held a terrace party with some of our distinguished guests and friends!

XR Social Search project accepted
The “XR Social Search” project has been funded in the DigiCosme 2013 call. The project will fund a three-years Inria PhD scholarship, on social ranked search on semantically annotated documents. The project is by Bogdan Cautis, François Goasdoué and Ioana Manolescu. The PhD student (Raphael Bonaque) will join the team in the fall.

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 performance problems are raised by processing very large amounts of XML data.
Materialized views have long been used in databases to speed up queries. Materialized views can be seen as precomputed query results that can be re-used to evaluate (part of) another query, and have been a topic of intensive research, in particular in the context of relational data warehousing.
In this talk we will investigate the applicability of materialized view-based techniques to optimize the performance of Web data management tools, in particular in distributed settings, considering XML data and queries.

Meghyn Bienvenu: Assorted topics in ontology-based data access
14.00, room 455, PCRI
Abstract
In this talk, I will start by recalling the basics of ontology-based data access, focusing on ontologies formulated in lightweight description logics. Afterwards, I will give a brief description of my recent work on this topic, evoking the results in the following papers:
Tractable Approximations of Consistent Query Answering for Robust Ontology-based Data Access
with Riccardo Rosati (IJCAI’13)
Conjunctive Regular Path Queries in Lightweight Description Logics
with Magdalena Ortiz, Mantas Simkus (IJCAI’13)

OakSad kick-off workshop
We have been in San Diego at the OAKSAD kick-off workshop at the end of May 2013. Unlike Paris which lives a revival of the Little Ice Age, San Diego was sunny, as can be easily seen below!

Cédric du Mouza: AS-Index: Une structure efficace de recherche de texte
10.30, room 445, PCRI
Résumé
AS-Index est une nouvelle structure pour la recherche exacte de chaîne de caractères dans des bases de données textuelles résidant sur le disque. Il repose sur le hachage contrairement à d’autres solutions basées soit sur des arbres ou des treillis. Il indexe chaque n-gram de la base dans sa version initiale, alors qu’une variante autorise une indexation non-dense et un gain d’espace conséquent. La fonction de hachage utilise les signatures algébriques des n-grams. L’utilisation du hachage permet de garantir des temps constants de recherche pour des patterns recherchés de tailles quelconque, contrairement aux structures connues dont le coût est au mieux logarithmique. Le coût de stockage de l’AS-index est de 500-600% la taille des données, similaire aux solutions connues. Nos expériences et nos comparaisons avec des structures connues confirment le bon comportement de notre structure.
