Clustering-Based Materialized View Selection in Data Warehouses
Materialized view selection is a non-trivial task. Hence, its complexity must
be reduced. A judicious choice of views must be cost-driven and influenced by
the workload experienced by the system. In this paper, we propose a framework
for materialized view selection that exploits a data mining technique
(clustering), in order to determine clusters of similar queries. We also
propose a view merging algorithm that builds a set of candidate views, as well
as a greedy process for selecting a set of views to materialize. This selection
is based on cost models that evaluate the cost of accessing data using views
and the cost of storing these views. To validate our strategy, we executed a
workload of decision-support queries on a test data warehouse, with and without
using our strategy. Our experimental results demonstrate its efficiency, even
when storage space is limited
Advance of the Access Methods
The goal of this paper is to outline the advance of the access methods in the last ten years as well as
to make review of all available in the accessible bibliography methods
Efficient Batch Query Answering Under Differential Privacy
Differential privacy is a rigorous privacy condition achieved by randomizing
query answers. This paper develops efficient algorithms for answering multiple
queries under differential privacy with low error. We pursue this goal by
advancing a recent approach called the matrix mechanism, which generalizes
standard differentially private mechanisms. This new mechanism works by first
answering a different set of queries (a strategy) and then inferring the
answers to the desired workload of queries. Although a few strategies are known
to work well on specific workloads, finding the strategy which minimizes error
on an arbitrary workload is intractable. We prove a new lower bound on the
optimal error of this mechanism, and we propose an efficient algorithm that
approaches this bound for a wide range of workloads.Comment: 6 figues, 22 page
MANAGING KNOWLEDGE AND DATA FOR A BETTER DECISION IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
In the current context, the society is dominated by the rapid development of computer networks and the integration of services and facilities offered by the Internet environment at the organizational level. The success of an organization depends largely on the quality and quantity of information it has available to develop quickly decisions able to meet the current needs. The need for a collaborative environment within the central administration leads to the unification of resources and instruments around the Center of Government, to increase both the quality and efficiency of decision - making, especially reducing the time spent with decision - making, and upgrading the decision – making act.administration, strategy, decision, complex systems, management, infrastructure, e-government, information society, government platform.
Database Systems - Present and Future
The database systems have nowadays an increasingly important role in the knowledge-based society, in which computers have penetrated all fields of activity and the Internet tends to develop worldwide. In the current informatics context, the development of the applications with databases is the work of the specialists. Using databases, reach a database from various applications, and also some of related concepts, have become accessible to all categories of IT users. This paper aims to summarize the curricular area regarding the fundamental database systems issues, which are necessary in order to train specialists in economic informatics higher education. The database systems integrate and interfere with several informatics technologies and therefore are more difficult to understand and use. Thus, students should know already a set of minimum, mandatory concepts and their practical implementation: computer systems, programming techniques, programming languages, data structures. The article also presents the actual trends in the evolution of the database systems, in the context of economic informatics.database systems - DBS, database management systems – DBMS, database – DB, programming languages, data models, database design, relational database, object-oriented systems, distributed systems, advanced database systems
