The set of materialized views is far from being optimal, so it is necessary to implement the dynamic adjustment to meet the demand of the users. Since the current static algorithms are not suitable for this purpose due to their larger space search and higher time consumption, this paper proposes PMVS (Preprocessor of Materialized Views Selection), which is composed of three algorithms: QSDM (Query Set Dynamic Management), CVLC (Candidate View Lattice Construction) and CVF (Candidate View Filter). Of the three algorithms, QSDM monitors the distribution of each query and determines by hypothesis testing whether the query should be added into or discarded from the query set. Based on the given query set, CVLC is in charge of producing candidate view set, which has been proven to be sufficient and necessary for selecting the best set of materialized views. As a heuristic algorithm, CVF utilizes the data sparse in multi-dimensional datasets to remove a part of candidate views, with very limited contribution to the optimal solution. The contrastive experiment indicates that PMVS can be employed by the static algorithms to reduce the amount of previous views effectively. The cost of static algorithms on space and time can be decreased to fit online demand.","PeriodicalId":236366,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st International Cognitive Cities Conference (IC3)","volume":"20 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116018615","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}

Based on traditional neural networks, we construct three prediction models: BP, Stack GRU, and Encoder-Decoder. We use Tianjin's continuous 171-day hourly PM2.5 concentration, air quality index, and meteorological data to train and test the model and evaluate the prediction performance of the model. In the experiment, using the meteorological factors, pollutant factors, seasonal factors, and PM2.5 concentrations as inputs, the PM2.5 concentration of every hour of the next day is predicted. The experimental result shows that when using PM2.5 concentration data for 3 days per hour to predict PM2.5 per hour, continuous forecasting for 43 days, the PM2.5 concentration value predicted by the Encoder-Decoder model is not significantly different from the value of PM2.5 issued by Tianjin local authorities, and the root mean square error (RMSE) is 43.17. With the same input data, the prediction result of Encoder-Decoder model is better than BP neural network and GRU prediction model, which shows that Encoder-Decoder model has better adaptability in predicting PM2.5 concentration than BP neural network and GRU model.","PeriodicalId":236366,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st International Cognitive Cities Conference (IC3)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128809869","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}

When malfunction or damage occurs in branches of a dynamic network, it is urgent in many applications to identify whether the damaged network is still able to transfer demanded flow d. Obviously, recalculating maximum flow in the new network with the traditional algorithm is not a recommended solution for its higher time-complexity. As is known, in many existing maximum flow algorithms, the search for augmenting paths is critical but highly time-consuming. Thus, this paper proposes an incremental maximum flow algorithm based on augmented routing tree (IMFA_ART), directly producing augmenting paths without complex calculation. The algorithm caches the information of simple paths during calculating maximum flow in the original network. The cached data will be utilized to get the augmenting paths whenever network topology changes, without any complex calculation in residual network. In addition, in order to avoid traversing those invalid simple paths that contain saturated edges, an augmented routing tree is proposed to index all simple paths. With the aid of this tree, the next augmenting paths can be found sequentially to achieve maximum flow by traversing from the root to a leaf. The time complexity is determined by the height of ART, which is far less than the number of augmenting paths. Therefore, the algorithm performance can be improved significantly. Experiments show that IMFA_ART has greater advantage in time performance over Dinic, the most famous maximum flow algorithm.","PeriodicalId":236366,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st International Cognitive Cities Conference (IC3)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116919880","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}
