Information Management in the Cloud (Dagstuhl Seminar 11321)

Authors: Anastasia Ailamaki, Michael J. Carey, Donald Kossman, Steve Loughran, and Volker Markl

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 1, Issue 8 (2011)

Abstract
Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm for highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and adaptable computing on large clusters of off-the-shelf computers. Cloud architectures strive to massively parallelize complex processing tasks through a computational model motivated by functional programming. They provide highly available storage and compute capacity through distribution and redundancy. Most importantly, Cloud architectures adapt to changing requirements by dynamically provisioning new (virtualized) compute or storage nodes. Economies of scale enable cloud providers to provide compute and storage powers to a multitude of users. On the infrastructure side, such a model has been pioneered by Amazon with EC2, whereas software as a service on cloud infrastructures with multi-tenancy has been pioneered by Salesforce.com. The Dagstuhl Seminar 11321 ``Information Management in the Cloud'' brought together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners with a broad range of expertise. The purpose of this seminar was to consider and to discuss causes, opportunities, and solutions for technologies, and architectures that enable cloud information management. The scope ranged from web-scale log file analysis using cluster computing techniques to dynamic provisioning of resources in data centers, covering topics from the areas of analytical and transactional processing, parallelization of large scale data and compute intensive operations as well as implementation techniques for fault tolerance.

10381 Summary and Abstracts Collection – Robust Query Processing

Authors: Götz Graefe, Arnd Christian König, Harumi Anne Kuno, Volker Markl, and Kai-Uwe Sattler

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10381, Robust Query Processing (2011)

Abstract
Dagstuhl seminar 10381 on robust query processing (held 19.09.10 - 24.09.10) brought together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners with a broad range of expertise for the purpose of fostering discussion and collaboration regarding causes, opportunities, and solutions for achieving robust query processing. The seminar strove to build a unified view across the loosely-coupled system components responsible for the various stages of database query processing. Participants were chosen for their experience with database query processing and, where possible, their prior work in academic research or in product development towards robustness in database query processing. In order to pave the way to motivate, measure, and protect future advances in robust query processing, seminar 10381 focused on developing tests for measuring the robustness of query processing. In these proceedings, we first review the seminar topics, goals, and results, then present abstracts or notes of some of the seminar break-out sessions. We also include, as an appendix, the robust query processing reading list that was collected and distributed to participants before the seminar began, as well as summaries of a few of those papers that were contributed by some participants.

08421 Working Group: Classification, Representation and Modeling

Authors: Anish Das Sarma, Ander de Keijzer, Amol Deshpande, Peter J. Haas, Ihab F. Ilyas, Christoph Koch, Thomas Neumann, Dan Olteanu, Martin Theobald, and Vasilis Vassalos

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
This report briefly summarizes the discussions carried out in the working group on classification, representation and modeling of uncertain data. The discussion was divided into two subgroups: the first subgroup studied how different representation and modeling alternatives currently proposed can fit in a bigger picture of theory and technology interaction, while the second subgroup focused on contrasting current system implementations and the reasons behind such diverse class of available prototypes. We summarize the findings of these two groups and the future steps suggested by group members.

08421 Working Group: Imprecision, Diversity and Uncertainty: Disentangling Threads in Uncertainty Management

Authors: Myra Spiliopoulou, Maurice van Keulen, Hans-Joachim Lenz, Jef Wijsen, Matthias Renz, Rudolf Kruse, and Mirco Stern

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
We report on the results of Workgroup 1 on "Imprecision, Diversity and Uncertainty". We set the scene by elaborating on where uncertainty comes from and what the ground truth is. In real world applications, the data observed may not be as expected: they may violate constraints, or, more generally, disagree with the anticipated model of the world. This leads to two orthogonal cases: The data may be erroneous, i.e. they must be corrected. Or, the model may outdated and must be adjusted to the data. After elaborating on this fundamental distinction, we address the issues of measuring uncertainty and exploiting uncertainty in real applications. We conclude with a list of challenges that should be addressed when dealing with uncertainty.

08421 Working Group: Lineage/Provenance

Authors: Anish Das Sarma, Amol Deshpande, Thomas Hubauer, Ihab F. Ilyas, Birgitta König-Ries, Matthias Renz, and Martin Theobald

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
The following summary tries to capture a collection of state-of-the-art techniques and challenges for future work on lineage management in uncertain and probabilistic databases that we discussed in our working group. It was one half of a larger committee that we had initially formed, which then got split into two groups---one focusing on lineage as a means of explanation of data, and one focusing more on lineage usage in probabilistic databases (see also the "Explanation" working group report for more details on the first subgroup).

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
This report summarizes the findings of a working group on "Uncertainty and Trust" which met during Dagstuhl Seminar 08421 "Uncertainty Management in Information Systems". All participants of the working group are co-authors of this report. The aim of the working group was to analyse the relationship between trust and uncertainty in distributed reputation systems. We started by identifying sources and types of uncertainty in this context and investigated their relation to trust. After that we compiled a list of desirable properties of trust representations and finally determined open research challenges in the area.

A Uncertainty Perspective on Qualitative Preference

Authors: Seung-won Hwang and Mu-Woong Lee

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
Collaborative filtering has been successfully applied for predicting a person's preference on an item, by aggregating community preference on the item. Typically, collaborative filtering systems are based on based on quantitative preference modeling, which requires users to express their preferences in absolute numerical ratings. However, quantitative user ratings are known to be biased and inconsistent and also significantly more burdensome to the user than the alternative qualitative preference modeling, requiring only to specify relative preferences between the item pair. More specifically, we identify three main components of collaborative filtering-- preference representation, aggregation, and similarity computation, and view each component from a qualitative perspective. From this perspective, we build a framework, which collects only qualitative feedbacks from users. Our rating-oblivious framework was empirically validated to have comparable prediction accuracies to an (impractical) upper bound accuracy obtained by collaborative filtering system using ratings.

Outlier detection and ranking based on subspace clustering

Authors: Thomas Seidl, Emmanuel Müller, Ira Assent, and Uwe Steinhausen

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
Detecting outliers is an important task for many applications including fraud detection or consistency validation in real world data. Particularly in the presence of uncertain data or imprecise data, similar objects regularly deviate in their attribute values. The notion of outliers has thus to be defined carefully. When considering outlier detection as a task which is complementary to clustering, binary decisions whether an object is regarded to be an outlier or not seem to be near at hand. For high-dimensional data, however, objects may belong to different clusters in different subspaces. More fine-grained concepts to define outliers are therefore demanded. By our new OutRank approach, we address outlier detection in heterogeneous high dimensional data and propose a novel scoring function that provides a consistent model for ranking outliers in the presence of different attribute types. Preliminary experiments demonstrate the potential for successful detection and reasonable ranking of outliers in high dimensional data sets.

Recommendation: A Less Explored Killer-App of Uncertainty?

Authors: Seung-won Hwang and Jong-won Roh

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
Due to the unprecedented amount of information available, it is becoming more and more important to provide personalized recommendations on data, based on past user feedbacks. However, available user feedbacks or ratings are extremely sparse, which motivates the needs for rating prediction. The most widely adopted solution has been collaborative filtering, which (1) identifies "neighboring" users with similar tastes and (2) aggregates their ratings to predict the ratings of the given user. However, while each of such aggregation involves varying levels of uncertainty, e.g., depending on the distribution of ratings aggregated, which has not been systematically considered in recommendation, though recent study suggests such consideration can boost prediction accuracy. To consider uncertainty in rating prediction, this paper reformulates the collaborative filtering problem as aggregating community ratings into multiple predicted ratings with varying levels of certainty, based on which we identify top-k results with both high confidence and rating. We empirically study the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed framework, over a classical collaborative filtering system.
