In its simplest form,\u0000the problem coincides with the Constraint Satisfiability Problem, where\u0000the number of variables is usually much smaller than the number of values. Wang and Li (ACM Trans. Inf. Syst. Secur. 2010) were the first\u0000to study the WSP as a problem parameterized by the number of variables. Their paper initiated very fruitful research surveyed by Cohen,\u0000Crampton, Gutin and Wahlström (2017). In this paper, we overview\u0000more recent WSP algorithmic developments and discuss computational\u0000experiments performed on two new testbeds of WSP instances. These\u0000WSP instances are closer to real-world ones than those by Karapetyan\u0000et al. (JAIR 2019). One of the two testbeds is generated using a novel\u0000iterative approach for obtaining computationally hard WSP instances.","PeriodicalId":121183,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Graph Computing","volume":"80 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114006011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These environments generate data streams that could be represented as graphs, which can be analysed in real-time to satisfy user or application needs. The challenges involved in these environments, ranging from the dynamism, heterogeneity, continuity, and high-volume of these real-world graph streams\u0000create new requirements for graph processing algorithms. We propose\u0000a dynamic graph stream summarisation system with the use of embeddings that provides expressive graphs while ensuring high usability and limited resource usage. In this paper, we examine the performance comparison between our embeddings-based approach and an existing thesaurus/ontology-based approach (FACES) that we adapted in a dynamic environment with the use of windows and data fusion. Both\u0000approaches use conceptual clustering and top-k scoring that can result\u0000in expressive, dynamic graph summaries with limited resources. Evaluations show that sending top-k fused diverse summaries, results in 34%\u0000to 92% reduction of forwarded messages and redundancy-awareness with\u0000an F-score ranging from 0.80 to 0.95 depending on the k compared to\u0000sending all the available information without top-k scoring. Also, the\u0000summaries' quality follows the agreement of ideal summaries determined\u0000by human judges. The summarisation approaches come with the expense\u0000of reduced system performance. The thesaurus/ontology-based approach\u0000proved 6 times more latency-heavy and 3 times more memory-heavy compared to the most expensive embeddings-based approach while having\u0000lower throughput but provided slightly better quality summaries.","PeriodicalId":121183,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Graph Computing","volume":"318 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141228274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
