Semantic Caching Framework: An FPGA-Based Application for IoT Security Monitoring

Security monitoring is one subdomain of cybersecurity which aims to guarantee the safety of systems, continuously monitoring unusual events. The development of Internet Of Things leads to huge amounts of information, being heterogeneous and requiring to be efficiently managed. Cloud Computing provides software and hardware resources for large scale data management. However, performances for sequences of on-line queries on long term historical data may be not compatible with the emergency security monitoring. This work aims to address this problem by proposing a semantic caching framework and its application to acceleration hardware with FPGA for fast- and accurate-enough logs processing for various data stores and execution engines

The 1st International Workshop on Context-Aware Recommendation Systems with Big Data Analytics (CARS-BDA)

Motivation and Goals. With the explosive growth of online service platforms, increasing number of people and enterprises are doing everything online. In order for organizations, governments, and individuals to understand their users, and promote their products or services, it is necessary for them to analyse big data and recommend the media or online services in real time. Effective recommendation of items of interest to consumers has become critical for enterprises in domains such as retail, e-commerce, and online media. Driven by the business successes, academic research in this field has also been active for many years. Though many scientific breakthroughs have been achieved, there are still tremendous challenges in developing effective and scalable recommendation systems for real-world industrial applications. Existing solutions focus on recommending items based on pre-set contexts, such as time, location, weather etc. The big data sizes and complex contextual information add further challenges to the deployment of advanced recommender systems. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with wide-ranging backgrounds to identify important research questions, to exchange ideas from different research disciplines, and, more generally, to facilitate discussion and innovation in the area of context-aware recommender systems and big data analytics. In a broad sense, the objective of such a workshop is to present results of the research undertaken in the area of data driven context-aware recommender systems, as a fishow and tellfi occasion. To some extent, the workshop is an exercise in showcasing research activities and findings, rather than in and not of fiworkshoppingfi or holding group discussions on research. This orientation, and the large number of presentations which are being made, means that tight timelines have to be followed. An intensive series of presentations is made, the downside of which is that the time available for group discussion is limited

Apache Calcite: A Foundational Framework for Optimized Query Processing Over Heterogeneous Data Sources

Apache Calcite is a foundational software framework that provides query processing, optimization, and query language support to many popular open-source data processing systems such as Apache Hive, Apache Storm, Apache Flink, Druid, and MapD. Calcite's architecture consists of a modular and extensible query optimizer with hundreds of built-in optimization rules, a query processor capable of processing a variety of query languages, an adapter architecture designed for extensibility, and support for heterogeneous data models and stores (relational, semi-structured, streaming, and geospatial). This flexible, embeddable, and extensible architecture is what makes Calcite an attractive choice for adoption in big-data frameworks. It is an active project that continues to introduce support for the new types of data sources, query languages, and approaches to query processing and optimization.Comment: SIGMOD'1
