AAll About Microsoft: l lCodeTracker A monthly look at Microsoft’s codenames and what they Areveal about the direction of the company. b o u t M i c r o s o f t : All About Microsoft CodeTracker Keeping track of Microsoft's myriad codenames is an (almost) full-time occupation. I know, as I spend a lot of my work hours tracking down the latest names in the hopes of being able to better keep tabs on what's coming next from the Redmondians. Each month, I'll be releasing an updated, downloadable version of the CodeTracker. I'll add new codenames -- arranged in alphabetical order by codename -- of forthcoming Microsoft products and technologies. I also will note timing changes (date slips, the release of a new test build, the disappearance of a planned deliverable) for entries that are already part of the Tracker. Once Microsoft releases the final version of a product or technology I've been tracking, I will remove it from the Tracker. In that way, the CodeTracker will remain focused on futures. (An aside about the Tracker: A question mark in place of an entry means I have insufficient information to hazard even an educated guess about a particular category.) If you have suggested new entries or corrections to existing ones, please drop me an e-mail at mjf at microsofttracker dot com. Thanks! Mary Jo Foley, Editor, ZDNet's "All About Microsoft" blog This Month's Theme: Big iron needs love, too If you went by nothing but blog and publication headlines, you might think mobile phones and slates are where all the innovation is these days. The latest news out of Microsoft – with its consumer ad-spending exuberance – might lead you to think the same. The reality is that there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes movement on the high-end side of the house in Redmond. This fall, there will be more news coming from Microsoft’s Technical Computing Group that should be of interest to those building their own datacenters and distributed computing clusters. This month’s update to my tracker includes codenames of a number of new “big iron” projects at the company. Check out the new and updated entries for Dryad, MFx, Nectar, Orleans, Quincy, TidyFS for more. I’ve also added a number of updates on some of those aforementioned consumer technologies, as well, including updates on Horizon, IE 9, Office 15 (with Lime and Limestone), the still- rumored Zune HD2 and Wave 14 of the various Windows Live wares. New to the codename “dead pool” this month is Quadrant, a piece of Microsoft’s Oslo modeling puzzle. The associated M language is supposedly being refocused (whatever that means), but isn’t (yet) off the chart. IronRuby – Microsoft’s implementation of the Ruby programming language – also is in limbo as of August. I’ve updated a number of links and due dates throughout the Tracker, as I do each month. So without further ado, it's on to this month's Microsoft CodeTracker.

    Discovery Attender User Guide

    Welcome Sherpa Software's Discovery Attender is a software tool designed to automate the search and collection of electronically stored information across a variety of platforms. This dynamic solution sits behind the firewall and enables in-house talent to identify and gather responsive information in a timely, defensible manner. The Discovery Attender interface is designed to be intuitive and user friendly. The Welcome Screen (above) serves as the gateway to the product. From here you can directly open the PreSearch Tool or create a project. A project serves as a repository for a collection - related searches and associated result sets. Once a new pro- ject is created, the MAIN CONSOLE acts as the central hub to allow you to control the creation, processing, and organization of searches. From here, you can access a Search Wizard which guides you through the step-by- step process of creating a new search. The MAIN CONSOLE also provides access to the Result Management features to view, organize, export and report on the messages, attachments and files that are found during your custom searches. Where to Begin To effectively filter and produce data with Discovery Attender, you must first create a project . Once a project is created, follow the steps below to begin the process: Step Action Description 1 Create and Run A Search A setup wizard leads you through the process of selecting locations and criteria to include in your search. Once started, the chosen data stores are scanned to find items (called results) that match the selected criteria. Information and metadata from these results are stored in the search data- bases.

    The Fourth Paradigm

    ABOUT THE FOURTH PARADIGM This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data- THE FOUR intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and com- puting research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud- computing technologies. This collection of essays expands on the vision of pio- T neering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based H PARADIGM on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized. “The impact of Jim Gray’s thinking is continuing to get people to think in a new way about how data and software are redefining what it means to do science.” —Bill GaTES “I often tell people working in eScience that they aren’t in this field because they are visionaries or super-intelligent—it’s because they care about science The and they are alive now. It is about technology changing the world, and science taking advantage of it, to do more and do better.” —RhyS FRANCIS, AUSTRALIAN eRESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE COUNCIL F OURTH “One of the greatest challenges for 21st-century science is how we respond to this new era of data-intensive

Mackenzie School of Science College of Science, Engineering, and Health RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia October 15, 2019 iii ABSTRACT As both the availability of internet access and the prominence of smart devices continue to increase, data is being generated at a rate faster than ever before. This massive increase in data production comes with many challenges, including efficiency concerns for the storage and retrieval of such large-scale data. However, users have grown to expect the sub-second response times that are common in most modern search engines, creating a problem — how can such large amounts of data continue to be served efficiently enough to satisfy end users? This dissertation investigates several issues regarding tail latency in large-scale information retrieval systems.
