Escrita de artigo para BDR Special issue on Benchmarking, Performance Tuning and Optimization for Big Data Analytics

Desde o dia 20/05 estou participando a elaboração de um artigo para essa revista Big Data Research  (BDR) com pesquisadores de uma universidade de Aveiro - Portugal.

O foco da escrita no momento está em técnicas de tuning e self-tuning em banco de dados tradicionais e distribuídos, incluindo os NoSQL.

Abaixo a chamada para o artigo e o prazo foi estendido para 08/06/2020.

Big Data Research Special Issue on "Benchmarking, Performance Tuning and Optimization for Big Data Analytics"
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/big-data-research/call-for-papers/benchmarking-performance-tuning-and-optimization

Scope and Aims

Users of big data are often not computer scientists. On the other hand, it is nontrivial for even experts to optimize performance of big data applications because there are so many decisions to make. For example, users have to first choose from many different big data systems and optimization algorithms to deal with complex structured data, graph data, and streaming data. In particular, there are numerous parameters to tune to optimize performance of a specific system and it is often possible to further optimize the algorithms previously written for "small data" in order to effectively adapt them in a big data environment. To make things more complex, users may worry about not only computational running time, storage cost and response time or throughput, but also quality of results, monetary cost, security and privacy, and energy efficiency. In more traditional algorithms and relational databases, these complexities are handled by query optimizer and other automatic tuning tools (e.g ., index selection tools) and there are benchmarks to compare performance of different products and optimization algorithms. Such tools are not available for big data environment and the problem is more complicated than the problem for traditional relational databases.

Topics of Interest

We invite authors from academia and industry to submit their original research as well as review articles to present latest progresses for current development or future goals in this field.
