Denormalization is a common tactic for enhancing performance of data warehouses, though its side-effect is quite obvious. Besides being confronted with update abnormality, denormalization has to consume additional storage space. As a result, this tactic is rarely used in main memory databases, which regards storage space, i.e., RAM, as scarce resource. Nevertheless, our research reveals that main...
As the consistency prediction of data view in information systems and actual data, data quality is of vital importance to decision making and the development of banking industry. In this paper, we firstly analyze the influence of data quality on the banking industry, and make researches on the current situation of banking industry data quality automated management. Then five evaluation dimensions...
Big data analysis is a main challenge we meet recently. Cloud computing is attracting more and more big data analysis applications, due to its well scalability and fault-tolerance. Some aggregation functions, like SUM, can be computed in parallel, because they satisfy distributive law of addition. Unfortunately, some of statistical functions are not naturally parallelizable. That means they do not...
In this paper, we analyse the data access characteristics of a typical XML information retrieval system and propose a new query aware buffer replacement algorithm based on prediction of Minimum Reuse Distance (MRD for short). The algorithm predicts an object's next reference distance according to the retrieval system's running status and replaces the objects that have maximum reuse distances. The...
This paper presents a reference framework, called BUD, to manage a large shared bank of unstructured data. This paper lists several important issues on managing or maintaining the unstructured data in BUD. BUD stores and manages the ever-growing unstructured data by introducing a novel technique called free-table, which is a conceptual view for end-users and a physical entity maintained by transactional...
The contents of the Huffman tables for JPEG coding might varied from one image to another. To ensure that the JPEG decoder uses the same Huffman tables as the encoder did, the JPEG standard suggests a method for encoder to downsize the Huffman tables and save them in file header so that the decoder can restore them from the header. Table restoration is time consumed because of the huge AC Huffman...
Keyword search over relational databases (KSORD) enables casual users to use keyword queries (a set of keywords) to search relational databases just like searching the Web, without any knowledge of the database schema or any need of writing SQL queries. In KSORD, retrieval of user's initial query is often unsatisfying. User has to reformulate his query and execute the new query, which costs much time...
