Towards Analytics Aware Ontology Based Access to Static and Streaming Data (Extended Version)
Real-time analytics that requires integration and aggregation of
heterogeneous and distributed streaming and static data is a typical task in
many industrial scenarios such as diagnostics of turbines in Siemens. OBDA
approach has a great potential to facilitate such tasks; however, it has a
number of limitations in dealing with analytics that restrict its use in
important industrial applications. Based on our experience with Siemens, we
argue that in order to overcome those limitations OBDA should be extended and
become analytics, source, and cost aware. In this work we propose such an
extension. In particular, we propose an ontology, mapping, and query language
for OBDA, where aggregate and other analytical functions are first class
citizens. Moreover, we develop query optimisation techniques that allow to
efficiently process analytical tasks over static and streaming data. We
implement our approach in a system and evaluate our system with Siemens turbine
data
Window-based Streaming Graph Partitioning Algorithm
In the recent years, the scale of graph datasets has increased to such a
degree that a single machine is not capable of efficiently processing large
graphs. Thereby, efficient graph partitioning is necessary for those large
graph applications. Traditional graph partitioning generally loads the whole
graph data into the memory before performing partitioning; this is not only a
time consuming task but it also creates memory bottlenecks. These issues of
memory limitation and enormous time complexity can be resolved using
stream-based graph partitioning. A streaming graph partitioning algorithm reads
vertices once and assigns that vertex to a partition accordingly. This is also
called an one-pass algorithm. This paper proposes an efficient window-based
streaming graph partitioning algorithm called WStream. The WStream algorithm is
an edge-cut partitioning algorithm, which distributes a vertex among the
partitions. Our results suggest that the WStream algorithm is able to partition
large graph data efficiently while keeping the load balanced across different
partitions, and communication to a minimum. Evaluation results with real
workloads also prove the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm, and it
achieves a significant reduction in load imbalance and edge-cut with different
ranges of dataset
Continuous client-side query evaluation over dynamic linked data
Existing solutions to query dynamic Linked Data sources extend the SPARQL language, and require continuous server processing for each query. Traditional SPARQL endpoints already accept highly expressive queries, so extending these endpoints for time-sensitive queries increases the server cost even further. To make continuous querying over dynamic Linked Data more affordable, we extend the low-cost Triple Pattern Fragments (TPF) interface with support for time-sensitive queries. In this paper, we introduce the TPF Query Streamer that allows clients to evaluate SPARQL queries with continuously updating results. Our experiments indicate that this extension significantly lowers the server complexity, at the expense of an increase in the execution time per query. We prove that by moving the complexity of continuously evaluating queries over dynamic Linked Data to the clients and thus increasing bandwidth usage, the cost at the server side is significantly reduced. Our results show that this solution makes real-time querying more scalable for a large amount of concurrent clients when compared to the alternatives
Publishing LO(D)D: Linked Open (Dynamic) Data for Smart Sensing and Measuring Environments
The paper proposes a distributed framework that provides a systematic way to publish environment data which is being updated continuously; such updates might be issued at speciļ¬c time intervals or bound to some environment- speciļ¬c event. The framework targets smart environments having networks of devices and sensors which are interacting with each other and with their respective environments to gather and generate data and willing to publish this data. This paper addresses the issues of supporting the data publishers to maintain up-to-date and machine understandable representations, separation of views (static or dynamic data) and delivering up-to-date information to data consumers in real time, helping data consumers to keep track of changes triggered from diverse environments and keeping track of evolution of the smart environment. The paper also describes a prototype implementation of the proposed architecture. A preliminary use case implementation over a real energy metering infrastructure is also provided in the paper to prove the feasibility of the architectur
