Database Usability Enhancement In Data Exploration, Yue Wang Nov 2017

Database Usability Enhancement In Data Exploration, Yue Wang

Doctoral Dissertations

Database usability has become an important research topic over the last decade. In the early days, database management systems were maintained by sophisticated users like database administrators. Today, due to the availability of data and computing resources, more non-expert users are involved in database computation. From their point of view, database systems lack ease of use. So researchers believe that usability is as important as the performance and functionality of databases and therefore developed many techniques such as natural language interface to enhance the ease of use of databases. In this thesis, we find some deeper technical issues in database …


High-Performance Complex Event Processing For Decision Analytics, Haopeng Zhang Jul 2017

High-Performance Complex Event Processing For Decision Analytics, Haopeng Zhang

Doctoral Dissertations

Complex Event Processing (CEP) systems are becoming increasingly popular in do- mains for decision analytics such as financial services, transportation, cluster monitoring, supply chain management, business process management, and health care. These systems collect or create high volumes event streams, and often require such event streams to be processed in real-time. To this end, CEP queries are applied for filtering, correlation, ag- gregation, and transformation, to derive high-level, actionable information. Tasks for CEP systems fall into two categories: passive monitoring and proactive monitoring. For passive monitoring, users know their exact needs and express them in CEP queries, then CEP engines …
