  • QUERYING JSON and XML Performance Evaluation of Querying Tools for Offline-Enabled Web Applications
    QUERYING JSON AND XML Performance evaluation of querying tools for offline-enabled web applications Master Degree Project in Informatics One year Level 30 ECTS Spring term 2012 Adrian Hellström Supervisor: Henrik Gustavsson Examiner: Birgitta Lindström Querying JSON and XML Submitted by Adrian Hellström to the University of Skövde as a final year project towards the degree of M.Sc. in the School of Humanities and Informatics. The project has been supervised by Henrik Gustavsson. 2012-06-03 I hereby certify that all material in this final year project which is not my own work has been identified and that no work is included for which a degree has already been conferred on me. Signature: ___________________________________________ Abstract This article explores the viability of third-party JSON tools as an alternative to XML when an application requires querying and filtering of data, as well as how the application deviates between browsers. We examine and describe the querying alternatives as well as the technologies we worked with and used in the application. The application is built using HTML 5 features such as local storage and canvas, and is benchmarked in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. The application built is an animated infographical display that uses querying functions in JSON and XML to filter values from a dataset and then display them through the HTML5 canvas technology. The results were in favor of JSON and suggested that using third-party tools did not impact performance compared to native XML functions. In addition, the usage of JSON enabled easier development and cross-browser compatibility. Further research is proposed to examine document-based data filtering as well as investigating why performance deviated between toolsets.

Programming a Parallel Future Joe Hellerstein UC Berkeley Computer Science Things change fast in computer science, but odds are good that they will change especially fast in the next few years. Much of this change centers on the shift toward parallel computing. In the short term, parallelism will thrive in settings with massive datasets and analytics. Longer term, the shift to parallelism will impact all software. In this note, I’ll outline some key changes that have recently taken place in the computer industry, show why existing software systems are ill‐equipped to handle this new reality, and point toward some bright spots on the horizon. Technology Trends: A Divergence in Moore’s Law Like many changes in computer science, the rapid drive toward parallel computing is a function of technology trends in hardware. Most technology watchers are familiar with Moore's Law, and the general notion that computing performance per dollar has grown at an exponential rate — doubling about every 18‐24 months — over the last 50 years.

  • Declarative Data Analytics: a Survey
    Declarative Data Analytics: a Survey NANTIA MAKRYNIOTI, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece VASILIS VASSALOS, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece The area of declarative data analytics explores the application of the declarative paradigm on data science and machine learning. It proposes declarative languages for expressing data analysis tasks and develops systems which optimize programs written in those languages. The execution engine can be either centralized or distributed, as the declarative paradigm advocates independence from particular physical implementations. The survey explores a wide range of declarative data analysis frameworks by examining both the programming model and the optimization techniques used, in order to provide conclusions on the current state of the art in the area and identify open challenges. CCS Concepts: • General and reference → Surveys and overviews; • Information systems → Data analytics; Data mining; • Computing methodologies → Machine learning approaches; • Software and its engineering → Domain specific languages; Data flow languages; Additional Key Words and Phrases: Declarative Programming, Data Science, Machine Learning, Large-scale Analytics ACM Reference Format: Nantia Makrynioti and Vasilis Vassalos. 2019. Declarative Data Analytics: a Survey. 1, 1 (February 2019), 36 pages. https://doi.org/10.1145/nnnnnnn.nnnnnnn 1 INTRODUCTION With the rapid growth of world wide web (WWW) and the development of social networks, the available amount of data has exploded. This availability has encouraged many companies and organizations in recent years to collect and analyse data, in order to extract information and gain valuable knowledge. At the same time hardware cost has decreased, so storage and processing of big data is not prohibitively expensive even for smaller companies.

Abstract: Analytical data management applications, affected by the explosion of the amount of generated data in the context of Big Data, are shifting away their analytical databases towards a vast landscape of architectural solutions combining storage techniques, programming models, languages, and tools. To support users in the hard task of deciding which Big Data solution is the most appropriate according to their specific requirements, we propose a generic architecture to classify analytical approaches. We also establish a classification of the existing query languages, based on the facilities provided to access the Big Data architectures. Moreover, to evaluate different solutions, we propose a set of criteria of comparison, such as OLAP support, scalability, and fault tolerance support. We classify different existing Big Data analytics solutions according to our proposed generic architecture and qualitatively evaluate them in terms of the criteria of comparison. We illustrate how our proposed generic architecture can be used to decide which Big Data analytic approach is suitable in the context of several use cases. 1 INTRODUCTION nally, despite these increases in scale and complexity, users still expect to be able to query data at interac- The term Big Data has been coined for represent- tive speeds.

  • A Dataflow Language for Large Scale Processing of RDF Data
    SYRql: A Dataflow Language for Large Scale Processing of RDF Data Fadi Maali1, Padmashree Ravindra2, Kemafor Anyanwu2, and Stefan Decker1 1 Insight Centre for Data Analytics, National University of Ireland Galway {fadi.maali,stefan.decker}@insight-centre.org 2 Department of Computer Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC {pravind2,kogan}@ncsu.edu Abstract. The recent big data movement resulted in a surge of activity on layering declarative languages on top of distributed computation plat- forms. In the Semantic Web realm, this surge of analytics languages was not reflected despite the significant growth in the available RDF data. Consequently, when analysing large RDF datasets, users are left with two main options: using SPARQL or using an existing non-RDF-specific big data language, both with its own limitations. The pure declarative nature of SPARQL and the high cost of evaluation can be limiting in some scenarios. On the other hand, existing big data languages are de- signed mainly for tabular data and, therefore, applying them to RDF data results in verbose, unreadable, and sometimes inefficient scripts. In this paper, we introduce SYRql, a dataflow language designed to process RDF data at a large scale. SYRql blends concepts from both SPARQL and existing big data languages. We formally define a closed algebra that underlies SYRql and discuss its properties and some unique optimisation opportunities this algebra provides. Furthermore, we describe an imple- mentation that translates SYRql scripts into a series of MapReduce jobs and compare the performance to other big data processing languages. 1 Introduction Declarative query languages have been a corner stone of data management since the early days of relational databases.
