Sistema de apoio à gestão de utilidades e energia: aplicação de conceitos de sistemas de informação e de apoio à tomada de decisão. / Support system for utility and energy management: utilization of information systems and decision support systems concepts.

Luiz Henrique Leite Rosa 12 April 2007 (has links)
Este trabalho trata da especificação, desenvolvimento e utilização do Sistema de Apoio à Gestão de Utilidades e Energia - SAGUE, um sistema concebido para auxiliar na análise de dados coletados de sistemas de utilidades como ar comprimido, vapor, sistemas de bombeamento, sistemas para condicionamento ambiental e outros, integrados com medições de energia e variáveis climáticas. O SAGUE foi desenvolvido segundo conceitos presentes em sistemas de apoio à decisão como Data Warehouse e OLAP - Online Analytical Processing - com o intuito de transformar os dados oriundos de medições em informações que orientem diretamente as ações de conservação e uso racional de energia. As principais características destes sistemas, que influenciaram na especificação e desenvolvimento do SAGUE, são tratadas neste trabalho. Além disso, este texto aborda a gestão energética e os sistemas de gerenciamento de energia visando apresentar o ambiente que motivou o desenvolvimento do SAGUE. Neste contexto, é apresentado o Sistema de Gerenciamento de Energia Elétrica - SISGEN, um sistema de informação para suporte à gestão de energia elétrica e de contratos de fornecimento, cujos dados coletados podem ser analisados através do SAGUE. A aplicação do SAGUE é tratada na forma de um estudo de caso no qual se analisa a correlação existente entre o consumo de energia elétrica da CUASO - Cidade Universitária Armando de Sales Oliveira, obtido através do SISGEN, e as medições de temperatura ambiente, fornecidas pelo IAG - Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas da USP. / This work deals with specification, development and utilization of the Support System for Utility and Energy Management - SAGUE, a system created to assist in analysis of data collected from utilities systems as compressed air, vapor, water pumping systems, environmental conditioning systems and others, integrated with energy consumption and climatic measurements. The development of SAGUE was based on concepts and methodologies from Decision Support System as Data Warehouse and OLAP - Online Analytical Processing - in order to transform data measurements in information that guide the actions for energy conservation and rational utilization. The main characteristics of Data Warehouse and OLAP tools that influenced in the specifications and development of SAGUE are described in this work. In addition, this text deals with power management and energy management systems in order to present the environment that motivated the SAGUE development. Within this context, it is presented the Electrical Energy Management System - SISGEN, a system for energy management support, whose electrical measurements can be analyzed by SAGUE. The SAGUE utilization is presented in a case study that discusses the relation between electrical energy consumption of CUASO - Cidade Universitária Armando de Sales Oliveira, obtained throughout SISGEN, and the local temperature measurements supplied by IAG - Institute of Astronomic and Atmospheric Science of USP.

Design von Stichproben in analytischen Datenbanken

Rösch, Philipp 17 July 2009 (has links)
Aktuelle Studien belegen ein rasantes, mehrdimensionales Wachstum in analytischen Datenbanken: Das Datenvolumen verzehnfachte sich in den letzten vier Jahren, die Anzahl der Nutzer wuchs um durchschnittlich 25% pro Jahr und die Anzahl der Anfragen verdoppelte sich seit 2004 jährlich. Bei den Anfragen handelt es sich zunehmend um komplexe Verbundanfragen mit Aggregationen; sie sind häufig explorativer Natur und werden interaktiv an das System gestellt. Eine Möglichkeit, der Forderung nach Interaktivität bei diesem starken, mehrdimensionalen Wachstum nachzukommen, stellen Stichproben und eine darauf aufsetzende näherungsweise Anfrageverarbeitung dar. Diese Lösung bietet signifikant kürzere Antwortzeiten sowie Schätzungen mit probabilistischen Fehlergrenzen. Mit den Operationen Verbund, Gruppierung und Aggregation als Hauptbestandteile analytischer Anfragen ergeben sich folgende Anforderungen an das Design von Stichproben in analytischen Datenbanken: Zwischen den Stichproben fremdschlüsselverbundener Relationen ist die referenzielle Integrität zu gewährleisten, sämtliche Gruppen sind angemessen zu repräsentieren und Aggregationsattribute sind auf extreme Werte zu untersuchen. In dieser Dissertation wird für jedes dieser Teilprobleme ein Stichprobenverfahren vorgestellt, das sich durch speicherplatzbeschränkte Stichproben und geringe Schätzfehler auszeichnet. Im ersten der vorgestellten Verfahren wird durch eine korrelierte Stichprobenerhebung die referenzielle Integrität bei minimalem zusätzlichen Speicherplatz gewährleistet. Das zweite vorgestellte Stichprobenverfahren hat durch eine Berücksichtigung der Streuung der Daten eine angemessene Repräsentation sämtlicher Gruppen zur Folge und unterstützt damit beliebige Gruppierungen, und im dritten Verfahren ermöglicht eine mehrdimensionale Ausreißerbehandlung geringe Schätzfehler für beliebig viele Aggregationsattribute. Für jedes dieser Verfahren wird die Qualität der resultierenden Stichprobe diskutiert und bei der Berechnung speicherplatzbeschränkter Stichproben berücksichtigt. Um den Berechnungsaufwand und damit die Systembelastung gering zu halten, werden für jeden Algorithmus Heuristiken vorgestellt, deren Kennzeichen hohe Effizienz und eine geringe Beeinflussung der Stichprobenqualität sind. Weiterhin werden alle möglichen Kombinationen der vorgestellten Stichprobenverfahren betrachtet; diese Kombinationen ermöglichen eine zusätzliche Verringerung der Schätzfehler und vergrößern gleichzeitig das Anwendungsspektrum der resultierenden Stichproben. Mit der Kombination aller drei Techniken wird ein Stichprobenverfahren vorgestellt, das alle Anforderungen an das Design von Stichproben in analytischen Datenbanken erfüllt und die Vorteile der Einzellösungen vereint. Damit ist es möglich, ein breites Spektrum an Anfragen mit hoher Genauigkeit näherungsweise zu beantworten. / Recent studies have shown the fast and multi-dimensional growth in analytical databases: Over the last four years, the data volume has risen by a factor of 10; the number of users has increased by an average of 25% per year; and the number of queries has been doubling every year since 2004. These queries have increasingly become complex join queries with aggregations; they are often of an explorative nature and interactively submitted to the system. One option to address the need for interactivity in the context of this strong, multi-dimensional growth is the use of samples and an approximate query processing approach based on those samples. Such a solution offers significantly shorter response times as well as estimates with probabilistic error bounds. Given that joins, groupings and aggregations are the main components of analytical queries, the following requirements for the design of samples in analytical databases arise: 1) The foreign-key integrity between the samples of foreign-key related tables has to be preserved. 2) Any existing groups have to be represented appropriately. 3) Aggregation attributes have to be checked for extreme values. For each of these sub-problems, this dissertation presents sampling techniques that are characterized by memory-bounded samples and low estimation errors. In the first of these presented approaches, a correlated sampling process guarantees the referential integrity while only using up a minimum of additional memory. The second illustrated sampling technique considers the data distribution, and as a result, any arbitrary grouping is supported; all groups are appropriately represented. In the third approach, the multi-column outlier handling leads to low estimation errors for any number of aggregation attributes. For all three approaches, the quality of the resulting samples is discussed and considered when computing memory-bounded samples. In order to keep the computation effort - and thus the system load - at a low level, heuristics are provided for each algorithm; these are marked by high efficiency and minimal effects on the sampling quality. Furthermore, the dissertation examines all possible combinations of the presented sampling techniques; such combinations allow to additionally reduce estimation errors while increasing the range of applicability for the resulting samples at the same time. With the combination of all three techniques, a sampling technique is introduced that meets all requirements for the design of samples in analytical databases and that merges the advantages of the individual techniques. Thereby, the approximate but very precise answering of a wide range of queries becomes a true possibility.

Sample Footprints für Data-Warehouse-Datenbanken

Rösch, Philipp, Lehner, Wolfgang 20 January 2023 (has links)
Durch stetig wachsende Datenmengen in aktuellen Data-Warehouse-Datenbanken erlangen Stichproben eine immer größer werdende Bedeutung. Insbesondere interaktive Analysen können von den signifikant kürzeren Antwortzeiten der approximativen Anfrageverarbeitung erheblich profitieren. Linked-Bernoulli-Synopsen bieten in diesem Szenario speichereffiziente, schemaweite Synopsen, d. h. Synopsen mit Stichproben jeder im Schema enthaltenen Tabelle bei minimalem Mehraufwand für die Erhaltung der referenziellen Integrität innerhalb der Synopse. Dies ermöglicht eine effiziente Unterstützung der näherungsweisen Beantwortung von Anfragen mit beliebigen Fremdschlüsselverbundoperationen. In diesem Artikel wird der Einsatz von Linked-Bernoulli-Synopsen in Data-Warehouse-Umgebungen detaillierter analysiert. Dies beinhaltet zum einen die Konstruktion speicherplatzbeschränkter, schemaweiter Synopsen, wobei unter anderem folgende Fragen adressiert werden: Wie kann der verfügbare Speicherplatz auf die einzelnen Stichproben aufgeteilt werden? Was sind die Auswirkungen auf den Mehraufwand? Zum anderen wird untersucht, wie Linked-Bernoulli-Synopsen für die Verwendung in Data-Warehouse-Datenbanken angepasst werden können. Hierfür werden eine inkrementelle Wartungsstrategie sowie eine Erweiterung um eine Ausreißerbehandlung für die Reduzierung von Schätzfehlern approximativer Antworten von Aggregationsanfragen mit Fremdschlüsselverbundoperationen vorgestellt. Eine Vielzahl von Experimenten zeigt, dass Linked-Bernoulli-Synopsen und die in diesem Artikel präsentierten Verfahren vielversprechend für den Einsatz in Data-Warehouse-Datenbanken sind. / With the amount of data in current data warehouse databases growing steadily, random sampling is continuously gaining in importance. In particular, interactive analyses of large datasets can greatly benefit from the significantly shorter response times of approximate query processing. In this scenario, Linked Bernoulli Synopses provide memory-efficient schema-level synopses, i. e., synopses that consist of random samples of each table in the schema with minimal overhead for retaining foreign-key integrity within the synopsis. This provides efficient support to the approximate answering of queries with arbitrary foreign-key joins. In this article, we focus on the application of Linked Bernoulli Synopses in data warehouse environments. On the one hand, we analyze the instantiation of memory-bounded synopses. Among others, we address the following questions: How can the given space be partitioned among the individual samples? What is the impact on the overhead? On the other hand, we consider further adaptations of Linked Bernoulli Synopses for usage in data warehouse databases. We show how synopses can incrementally be kept up-to-date when the underlying data changes. Further, we suggest additional outlier handling methods to reduce the estimation error of approximate answers of aggregation queries with foreign-key joins. With a variety of experiments, we show that Linked Bernoulli Synopses and the proposed techniques have great potential in the context of data warehouse databases.

In-Memory-Datenmanagement in betrieblichen Anwendungssystemen

Peter, Loos, Lechtenbörger, Jens, Vossen, Gottfried, Zeier, Alexander, Krüger, Jens, Müller, Jürgen, Lehner, Wolfgang, Kossmann, Donald, Fabian, Benjamin, Günther, Oliver, Winter, Robert 25 January 2023 (has links)
In-Memory-Datenbanken halten den gesamten Datenbestand permanent im Hauptspeicher vor. Somit können lesende Zugriffe weitaus schneller erfolgen als bei traditionellen Datenbanksystemen, da keine I/O-Zugriffe auf die Festplatte erfolgen müssen. Für schreibende Zugriffe wurden Mechanismen entwickelt, die Persistenz und somit Transaktionssicherheit gewährleisten. In-Memory-Datenbanken werden seit geraumer Zeit entwickelt und haben sich in speziellen Anwendungen bewährt. Mit zunehmender Speicherdichte von DRAM-Bausteinen sind Hardwaresysteme wirtschaftlich erschwinglich, deren Hauptspeicher einen kompletten betrieblichen Datenbestand aufnehmen können. Somit stellt sich die Frage, ob In-Memory-Datenbanken auch in betrieblichen Anwendungssystemen eingesetzt werden können. Hasso Plattner, der mit HANA eine In-Memory-Datenbank entwickelt hat, ist ein Protagonist dieses Ansatzes. Er sieht erhebliche Potenziale für neue Konzepte in der Entwicklung betrieblicher Informationssysteme. So könne beispielsweise eine transaktionale und eine analytische Anwendung auf dem gleichen Datenbestand laufen, d. h. eine Trennung in operative Datenbanken einerseits und Data-Warehouse-Systeme andererseits ist in der betrieblichen Informationsverarbeitung nicht mehr notwendig (Plattner und Zeier 2011). Doch nicht alle Datenbank-Vertreter stimmen darin überein. Larry Ellison hat die Idee des betrieblichen In-Memory-Einsatzes, eher medienwirksam als seriös argumentativ, als „wacko“ bezeichnet (Bube 2010). Stonebraker (2011) sieht zwar eine Zukunft für In-Memory-Datenbanken in betrieblichen Anwendungen, hält aber weiterhin eine Trennung von OLTP- und OLAP-Anwendungen für sinnvoll. [Aus: Einleitung]

In-memory Databases in Business Information Systems

Loos, Peter, Lechtenbörger, Jens, Vossen, Gottfried, Zeier, Alexander, Krüger, Jens, Müller, Jürgen, Lehner, Wolfgang, Kossmann, Donald, Fabian, Benjamin, Günther, Oliver, Winter, Robert 26 January 2023 (has links)
In-memory databases are developed to keep the entire data in main memory. Compared to traditional database systems, read access is now much faster since no I/O access to a hard drive is required. In terms of write access, mechanisms are available which provide data persistence and thus secure transactions. In-memory databases have been available for a while and have proven to be suitable for particular use cases. With increasing storage density of DRAM modules, hardware systems capable of storing very large amounts of data have become affordable. In this context the question arises whether in-memory databases are suitable for business information system applications. Hasso Plattner, who developed the HANA in-memory database, is a trailblazer for this approach. He sees a lot of potential for novel concepts concerning the development of business information systems. One example is to conduct transactions and analytics in parallel and on the same database, i.e. a division into operational database systems and data warehouse systems is no longer necessary (Plattner and Zeier 2011). However, there are also voices against this approach. Larry Ellison described the idea of business information systems based on in-memory database as “wacko,” without actually making a case for his statement (cf. Bube 2010). Stonebraker (2011) sees a future for in-memory databases for business information systems but considers the division of OLTP and OLAP applications as reasonable. [From: Introduction]

SCIT: A Schema Change Interpretation Tool for Dynamic-Schema Data Warehouses

Hai, Rihan Hai, Theodorou, Vasileios, Thiele, Maik, Lehner, Wolfgang 03 February 2023 (has links)
Data Warehouses (DW) have to continuously adapt to evolving business requirements, which implies structure modification (schema changes) and data migration requirements in the system design. However, it is challenging for designers to control the performance and cost overhead of different schema change implementations. In this paper, we demonstrate SCIT, a tool for DW designers to test and implement different logical design alternatives in a two-fold manner. As a main functionality, SCIT translates common DW schema modifications into directly executable SQL scripts for relational database systems, facilitating design and testing automation. At the same time, SCIT assesses changes and recommends alternative design decisions to help designers improve logical designs and avoid common dimensional modeling pitfalls and mistakes. This paper serves as a walk-through of the system features, showcasing the interaction with the tool’s user interface in order to easily and effectively modify DW schemata and enable schema change analysis.

Query optimization by using derivability in a data warehouse environment

Albrecht, Jens, Hümmer, Wolfgang, Lehner, Wolfgang, Schlesinger, Lutz 10 January 2023 (has links)
Materialized summary tables and cached query results are frequently used for the optimization of aggregate queries in a data warehouse. Query rewriting techniques are incorporated into database systems to use those materialized views and thus avoid the access of the possibly huge raw data. A rewriting is only possible if the query is derivable from these views. Several approaches can be found in the literature to check the derivability and find query rewritings. The specific application scenario of a data warehouse with its multidimensional perspective allows the consideration of much more semantic information, e.g. structural dependencies within the dimension hierarchies and different characteristics of measures. The motivation of this article is to use this information to present conditions for derivability in a large number of relevant cases which go beyond previous approaches.

Using Semantics for Query Derivability in Data Warehouse Applications

Albrecht, J., Hümmer, W., Lehner, Wolfgang, Schlesinger, L. 12 January 2023 (has links)
Materialized summary tables and cached query results are frequently used for the optimization of aggregate queries in a data warehouse. Query rewriting techniques are incorporated into database systems to use those materialized views and thus avoid accessing the possibly huge raw data. A rewriting is only possible if the query is derivable from these views. Several approaches can be found in the literature to check the derivability and find query rewritings. However, most algorithms either find rewritings only in very restricted cases or in complex cases which rarely occur in data warehouse environments. The specific application scenario of a data warehouse with its multidimensional perspective allows the consideration of much more semantic information, e.g. structural dependencies within the dimension hierarchies and different characteristics of measures. The motivation of this article is to use this information to present simple conditions for derivability in a large number of relevant cases which go beyond previous approaches.

A Decathlon in Multidimensional Modeling: Open Issues and Some Solutions

Hümmer, W., Lehner, W., Bauer, A., Schlesinger, L. 12 January 2023 (has links)
The concept of multidimensional modeling has proven extremely successful in the area of Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) as one of many applications running on top of a data warehouse installation. Although many different modeling techniques expressed in extended multidimensional data models were proposed in the recent past, we feel that many hot issues are not properly reflected. In this paper we address ten common problems reaching from defects within dimensional structures over multidimensional structures to new analytical requirements and more.

SCINTRA: A Model for Quantifying Inconsistencies in Grid-Organized Sensor Database Systems

Schlesinger, Lutz, Lehner, Wolfgang 12 January 2023 (has links)
Sensor data sets are usually collected in a centralized sensor database system or replicated cached in a distributed system to speed up query evaluation. However, a high data refresh rate disallows the usage of traditional replicated approaches with its strong consistency property. Instead we propose a combination of grid computing technology with sensor database systems. Each node holds cached data of other grid members. Since cached information may become stale fast, the access to outdated data may sometimes be acceptable if the user has knowledge about the degree of inconsistency if unsynchronized data are combined. The contribution of this paper is the presentation and discussion of a model for describing inconsistencies in grid organized sensor database systems.
