Numerous schemes are in use, especially the cryptographically secure standards SHA-1. We propose a novel signature scheme which we call algebraic signatures. The scheme uses the Galois field calculations. Its major property is the sure detection of any changes up to a parameterized size. More precisely, we detect for sure any changes that do not exceed n-symbols for an n-symbol algebraic signature. This property is new for any known signature scheme. For larger changes, the collision probability is typically negligible, as for the other known schemes. We apply the algebraic signatures to the scalable distributed data structures (SDDS). We filter at the SDDS client node the updates that do not actually change the records. We also manage the concurrent updates to data stored in the SDDS RAM buckets at the server nodes. We further use the scheme for the fast disk backup of these buckets. We sign our objects with 4-byte signatures, instead of 20-byte standard SHA-1 signatures. Our algebraic calculus is then also about twice as fast.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121149513","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}

Among various statistics, computing quantile summary is probably most challenging because of its complexity. We study the problem of continuously maintaining quantile summary of the most recently observed N elements over a stream so that quantile queries can be answered with a guaranteed precision of /spl epsiv/N. We developed a space efficient algorithm for predefined N that requires only one scan of the input data stream and O(log(/spl epsiv//sup 2/N)//spl epsiv/+1//spl epsiv//sup 2/) space in the worst cases. We also developed an algorithm that maintains quantile summaries for most recent N elements so that quantile queries on any most recent n elements (n /spl les/ N) can be answered with a guaranteed precision of /spl epsiv/n. The worst case space requirement for this algorithm is only O(log/sup 2/(/spl epsiv/N)//spl epsiv//sup 2/). Our performance study indicated that not only the actual quantile estimation error is far below the guaranteed precision but the space requirement is also much less than the given theoretical bound.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"358 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122746675","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}

The IMMERSI-MEET system distinguishes between continuous streams, where values of different types come at a specified data rate, and discrete streams where sources push values intermittently. In MSDL, any dependence declaration must have at least one dependency specifying predicate in the body. As stream declarations are registered, the stream constraints are interpreted to construct a set of evaluation directives.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123361791","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}

{"title":"Meta data management","authors":"Philip A. Bernstein, Sergey Melnik","doi":"10.1109/ICDE.2004.1320101","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDE.2004.1320101","url":null,"abstract":"By meta data management, we mean techniques for manipulating schemas and schema-like objects (such as interface definitions and web site maps) and mappings between them. Work on meta data problems goes back to at least the early 1970s, when data translation was the hot database research topic, even before relational databases caught on. Many popular research problems in the past five years are primarily meta data problems, such as data warehouse tools (e.g., ETL – to extract, transform and load), data integration, the semantic web, generation of XML or object-oriented wrappers for SQL databases, and generation of wrappers for web sites. Other classical meta data problems are information resource management, design tool support and integration, and schema evolution and data migration. Despite its longevity and continued importance, there is no widely-accepted conceptual framework for the meta data field, as there is for many other database topics, such as access methods, query processing, and transaction management. In this seminar, we propose such a conceptual framework. It consists of three layers: applications, design patterns, and basic operators. Applications are the end-user problems to be solved, like those listed in the previous paragraph. Design patterns are generic problems that need to be solved in support of many different applications, such as meta modeling (for all meta data problems), answering queries using views (for data integration and the semantic web), and change propagation (for data translation, schema evolution, and round-trip engineering). Basic operators are procedures that are needed to support multiple design patterns and applications, such as matching schemas to produce a mapping, merging schemas based on a mapping, and composing mappings. We will describe several meta data management problems, and for each, we will explain the design patterns and operators that are needed to solve it. We will summarize the main approaches to each design pattern and operator – the main choices of language, data structures, and algorithms – and will highlight the relevant papers that address it. This seminar is targeted at both practicing engineers and researchers. The former will learn about the latest solutions to important meta data problems and the many difficult unsolved problems that are best to avoid. Database researchers, especially professors, will benefit from considering the conceptual framework that we propose, since no database textbooks treat meta data management as a separate topic as far as we know.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122740915","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}

The Cascaded-SFC multimedia disk scheduler is applicable in environments where multimedia data requests arrive with different quality of service (QoS) requirements such as real-time deadline and user priority. Previous work on disk scheduling has focused on optimizing the seek times and/or meeting the real-time deadlines. The Cascaded-SFC disk scheduler provides a unified framework for multimedia disk scheduling that scales with the number of scheduling parameters. The general idea is based on modeling the multimedia disk requests as points in multiple multidimensional subspaces, where each of the dimensions represents one of the parameters (e.g., one dimension represents the request deadline, another represents the disk cylinder number, and a third dimension represents the priority of the request, etc.). Each multidimensional subspace represents a subset of the QoS parameters that share some common scheduling characteristics. Then the multimedia disk scheduling problem reduces to the problem of finding a linear order to traverse the multidimensional points in each subspace. Multiple space-filling curves are selected to fit the scheduling needs of the QoS parameters in each subspace. The orders in each subspace are integrated in a cascaded way to provide a total order for the whole space. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the Cascaded-SFC disk scheduling algorithm over other disk schedulers.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129703912","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}

This growing need necessitates work on developing native XML operators, especially for one as fundamental as sort. We present NEXSORT, an algorithm that leverages the hierarchical nature of XML to efficiently sort an XML document in external memory. In a fully sorted XML document, children of every nonleaf element are ordered according to a given sorting criterion. Among NEXSORT's uses is in combination with structural merge as the XML version of sort-merge join, which allows us to merge large XML documents using only a single pass once they are sorted. The hierarchical structure of an XML document limits the number of possible legal orderings among its elements, which means that sorting XML is fundamentally \"easier\" than sorting a flat file. We prove that the I/O lower bound for sorting XML in external memory is /spl Theta/(max{n,nlog/sub m/(k/B)}), where n is the number of blocks in the input XML document, m is the number of main memory blocks available for sorting, B is the number of elements that can fit in one block, and k is the maximum fan-out of the input document tree. We show that NEXSORT performs within a constant factor of this theoretical lower bound. In practice we demonstrate, even with a naive implementation, NEXSORT significantly outperforms a regular external merge sort of all elements by their key paths, unless the XML document is nearly flat, in which case NEXSORT degenerates essentially to external merge sort.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116938160","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}

The main challenge of mining sequential patterns is the high processing cost due to the large amount of data. We propose a new strategy called direct sequence comparison (abbreviated as DISC), which can find frequent sequences without having to compute the support counts of nonfrequent sequences. The main difference between the DISC strategy and the previous works is the way to prune nonfrequent sequences. The previous works are based on the antimonotone property, which prune the nonfrequent sequences according to the frequent sequences with shorter lengths. On the contrary, the DISC strategy prunes the nonfrequent sequences according to the other sequences with the same length. Moreover, we summarize three strategies used in the previous works and design an efficient algorithm called DISC-all to take advantages of all the four strategies. The experimental results show that the DISC-all algorithm outperforms the PrefixSpan algorithm on mining frequent sequences in large databases. In addition, we analyze these strategies to design the dynamic version of our algorithm, which achieves a much better performance.","PeriodicalId":358862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 20th International Conference on Data Engineering","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133138604","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}
