This project aims at addressing the formal system of students academic, technical activities and notices management system by implementation of an online system for these purposes. Colleges follow a manual system to provide students with their notices, notes and other important documents that are needed . This current system provides students with the bibliophilic data by means of printed notes and documentation. Notices are provided on a notice board which is accessible to students in college premises only. This current analogue system requires a lot of paperwork and cost to provide students with the basic documentation like notes and question papers. Also this analogue system fails at providing the students the flexibility required in terms of time and location, to access these documentation. The concept of notice board i n the college premises is restricted by strictly location requiring students to travel for get ting access to the notices Displayed for them. Moreover this analogue technique is responsible for consumption of more time than is really required for such a short process. Development of this system ensures at addressing these drawbacks of the current sy stem of flexibility and time management. This system uses a web based approach to address and solve these issues by creating an online management system to manage the notes, notices, question papers and student data, unlike formal system. Al so databases ha ve been kept distributed so as to increase the security of data in the system

Low Latency Geo-distributed Data Analytics

Low latency analytics on geographically distributed dat-asets (across datacenters, edge clusters) is an upcoming and increasingly important challenge. The dominant approach of aggregating all the data to a single data-center significantly inflates the timeliness of analytics. At the same time, running queries over geo-distributed inputs using the current intra-DC analytics frameworks also leads to high query response times because these frameworks cannot cope with the relatively low and variable capacity of WAN links. We present Iridium, a system for low latency geo-distri-buted analytics. Iridium achieves low query response times by optimizing placement of both data and tasks of the queries. The joint data and task placement op-timization, however, is intractable. Therefore, Iridium uses an online heuristic to redistribute datasets among the sites prior to queries ’ arrivals, and places the tasks to reduce network bottlenecks during the query’s ex-ecution. Finally, it also contains a knob to budget WAN usage. Evaluation across eight worldwide EC2 re-gions using production queries show that Iridium speeds up queries by 3 × − 19 × and lowers WAN usage by 15% − 64 % compared to existing baselines

An evaluation between Bloom Filter join and PERF join in Distributed Query Processing

Nowadays, with the explosion of information and the telecommunication era\u27s coming, more and more huge applications encourage decentralization of data while accessing data from different sites [HFB00]. The process of retrieving data from different sites called Distributed Query Processing. The objective of distributed query optimization is to find the most cost-effective of executing query across the network [OV99]. Semijoin [BC81] [BG+81] is known as an effective operator to eliminate the tuples of a relation which are not contributive to a query. 2-way semijoin [KR87] is an extended version of semijoin which not only performs forward reduction like traditional semijoin does, but also provides backward reduction always in cost-effective way. Bloom Filter[B70] and PERF [LR95] are 2 filter based techniques which use a bit vector to represent of the original join attributes projection during the data transmission. Compare with generating a bit array with hash function in bloom filter, Perf join is based on the tuples scan order to avoid losing information caused by hash collision. In the thesis, we will apply both bloom filter and pert on 2-way semijoin algorithms to reduce transmission cost of distributed queries. Performance of propose algorithms will compare against each others and IFS (Initial Feasible Solution) through amount of experiments. \u27Keywords:\u27 Distributed Query Processing, Semijoin, Bloom Filter, Perf Join

An optimization of queries in distributed database systems

This paper addresses the processing of a query in distributed database systems using a sequence of semijoins. The objective is to minimize the intersite data traffic incurred by a distributed query. A method is developed which accurately and efficiently estimates the size of an intermediate result of a query. This method provides the basis of the query optimization algorithm. Since the distributed query optimization problem is known to be intractable, a heuristic algorithm is developed to determine a low-cost sequence of semijoins. The cost comparison with an existing algorithm is provided. The complexity of the main features of the algorithm is analytically derived. The scheduling time for sequences of semijoins is measured for example queries using the PASCAL program which implements the algorithm.

A bloom-filter strategy for response time reduction in distributed query processing.

In distributed database systems, query optimization is to find strategies attempt to minimize the amount of data transmitted over the network. Optimization algorithms have an important impact on the performance of distributed query processing. Since optimal query processing in distributed database systems has been shown to be NP-Hard [WC96], heuristics are applied to find a cost-effective and efficient (but suboptimal) processing strategy. Many query optimization strategies have been proposed to minimize either the total cost or the response time. The approaches in distributed query processing have mainly focused on the use of joins, semijoins, and filters. In this thesis, we propose a new reduction strategy based on bloom-filters to significantly reduce the response time of a distributed query. This algorithm can process general queries consisting of an arbitrary number of relations and join attributes. The performance of the algorithm with respect to response time is compared against the Initial Feasible Solution (IFS). An amount of experimental results has been used to evaluate the performance of our algorithm. Compared to the IFS, our algorithm provides a significantly improved query solution.

An evaluation of PERF joins for a two-way semijoin based algorithm.

Distributed database system is becoming more widely used instead of centralized database systems in business world due to business expansion and network technology development. Query optimization provides a strategy for executing each query over the networks in the most cost-effective way, which aims to minimize the transmission cost over the networks. Many techniques and algorithms have been proposed to optimize queries, such as semijoin[BC81][BGW+81], 2-way semijoin[KR87], composite semijoin[PC90], hash semijoin[TC92], PERF join[LR95], etc. In distributed query processing, the semijoin has been used as an effective operator to reduce the total amount of data transmission. 2-way semijoin is an extended version of semijoin for more cost-effective distributed query processing. PERF joins are 2-way semijoins using a bit vector during the backward phase. PERF[LR95] is designed to minimize the cost of the backward reduction. It is based on the tuple scan order instead of hashing. Thus it does not suffer any loss of join information incurred by hash collisions. Algorithm UPSJ and Algorithm CPSJ are proposed based on a 2-way semijoin algorithm. Two variants of PERF joins are applied to the 2-way semijoin algorithm. In Algorithm UPSJ, uncompressed PERF joins and 2-way semijoin techniques are combined. In Algorithm CPSJ, compressed PERF joins are applied during the backward processing. Programs are designed to implement both original and the enhanced algorithms. Several experiments are conducted and the results showed a considerable enhancement obtained by applying the PERF join concept.Dept. of Computer Science.

Garantia de privacidade na exploração de bases de dados distribuídas

Anonymisation is currently one of the biggest challenges when sharing sensitive personal information. Its importance depends largely on the application domain, but when dealing with health information, this becomes a more serious issue. A simpler approach to avoid this disclosure is to ensure that all data that can be associated directly with an individual is removed from the original dataset. However, some studies have shown that simple anonymisation procedures can sometimes be reverted using specific patients’ characteristics, namely when the anonymisation is based on hidden key attributes. In this work, we propose a secure architecture to share information from distributed databases without compromising the subjects’ privacy. The work was initially focused on identifying techniques to link information between multiple data sources, in order to revert the anonymization procedures. In a second phase, we developed the methodology to perform queries over distributed databases was proposed. The architecture was validated using a standard data schema that is widely adopted in observational research studies.A garantia da anonimização de dados é atualmente um dos maiores desafios quando existe a necessidade de partilhar informações pessoais de carácter sensível. Apesar de ser um problema transversal a muitos domínios de aplicação, este torna-se mais crítico quando a anonimização envolve dados clinicos. Nestes casos, a abordagem mais comum para evitar a divulgação de dados, que possam ser associados diretamente a um indivíduo, consiste na remoção de atributos identificadores. No entanto, segundo a literatura, esta abordagem não oferece uma garantia total de anonimato, que pode ser quebrada através de ataques específicos que permitem a reidentificação dos sujeitos. Neste trabalho, é proposta uma arquitetura que permite partilhar dados armazenados em repositórios distribuídos, de forma segura e sem comprometer a privacidade. Numa primeira fase deste trabalho, foi feita uma análise de técnicas que permitam reverter os procedimentos de anonimização. Na fase seguinte, foi proposta uma metodologia que permite realizar pesquisas em bases de dados distribuídas, sem que o anonimato seja quebrado. Esta arquitetura foi validada sobre um esquema de base de dados relacional que é amplamente utilizado em estudos clínicos observacionais.Mestrado em Ciberseguranç
