Efficient Content-Based Publish/Subscribe Systems for Dynamic and Large-Scale Networked Applications

Zhao, Yaxiong January 2012 (has links)
This thesis presents the design and evaluation of content-based publish/subscribe systems for efficient content dissemination and sharing of dynamic and large-scale networked applications. The rapid development of network technologies and the continuous investment in network infrastructure have realized a ubiquitous platform for sharing information. However, there lacks efficient protocol and software that can utilize such resource to support novel networked applications. In this thesis, we explore the possibility of content-based publish/subscribe as an efficient communication substrate for dynamic and large-scale networked applications. Although content-based publish/subscribe has been used extensively in many small-to-medium scale systems, there is no Internet-scale applications that utilize this technology. The research reported in this thesis investigates the technical challenges and their solutions of applying content-based publish/subscribe in various applications in mobile networks and Internet. We apply content-based publish/subscribe in the interest-driven information sharing for smartphone networks. We design efficient approximate content matching algorithms and data structures. We study how to construct optimal overlay publish/subscribe overlay networks. We propose architecture designs that make Internet content-based publish/subscribe robust. We also design a name resolution system that enables content discovery in the Internet. These techniques are evaluated comprehensively in realistic simulation studies, and some of them are further evaluated on PlanetLab testbed with prototype implementations. / Computer and Information Science

An Efficient, Extensible, Hardware-aware Indexing Kernel

Sadoghi Hamedani, Mohammad 20 June 2014 (has links)
Modern hardware has the potential to play a central role in scalable data management systems. A realization of this potential arises in the context of indexing queries, a recurring theme in real-time data analytics, targeted advertising, algorithmic trading, and data-centric workflows, and of indexing data, a challenge in multi-version analytical query processing. To enhance query and data indexing, in this thesis, we present an efficient, extensible, and hardware-aware indexing kernel. This indexing kernel rests upon novel data structures and (parallel) algorithms that utilize the capabilities offered by modern hardware, especially abundance of main memory, multi-core architectures, hardware accelerators, and solid state drives. This thesis focuses on presenting our query indexing techniques to cope with processing queries in data-intensive applications that are susceptible to ever increasing data volume and velocity. At the core of our query indexing kernel lies the BE-Tree family of memory-resident indexing structures that scales by overcoming the curse of dimensionality through a novel two-phase space-cutting technique, an effective Top-k processing, and adaptive parallel algorithms to operate directly on compressed data (that exploits the multi-core architecture). Furthermore, we achieve line-rate processing by harnessing the unprecedented degrees of parallelism and pipelining only available through low-level logic design using FPGAs. Finally, we present a comprehensive evaluation that establishes the superiority of BE-Tree in comparison with state-of-the-art algorithms. In this thesis, we further expand the scope of our indexing kernel and describe how to accelerate analytical queries on (multi-version) databases by enabling indexes on the most recent data. Our goal is to reduce the overhead of index maintenance, so that indexes can be used effectively for analytical queries without being a heavy burden on transaction throughput. To achieve this end, we re-design the data structures in the storage hierarchy to employ an extra level of indirection over solid state drives. This indirection layer dramatically reduces the amount of magnetic disk I/Os that is needed for updating indexes and localizes the index maintenance. As a result, by rethinking how data is indexed, we eliminate the dilemma between update vs. query performance and reduce index maintenance and query processing cost substantially.
