Redistributing Fragments into a Distributed Database

Scheduling the Allocation of Data Fragments in a Distributed Database Environment: A Machine Learning Approach

Different database fragmentation and allocation strategies have been proposed to partially replicate data in a partitioned, distributed database (DDB) environment. The replication strategies include database snapshots, materialized views, and quasi-copies. These strategies are ‘static’ and do not adapt to the changes in the data usage patterns. Furthermore, they often require expensive update s...

A Reinforcement Learning Solution for Allocating Replicated Fragments in a Distributed Database

Due to the complexity of the data distribution problem in Distributed Database Systems, most of the proposed solutions divide the design process into two parts: the fragmentation and the allocation of fragments to the locations in the network. Here we consider the allocation problem with the possibility to replicate fragments, minimizing the total cost, which is in general NP-complete, and prop...

Separating indexes from data: a distributed scheme for secure database outsourcing

Database outsourcing is an idea to eliminate the burden of database management from organizations. Since data is a critical asset of organizations, preserving its privacy from outside adversary and untrusted server should be warranted. In this paper, we present a distributed scheme based on storing shares of data on different servers and separating indexes from data on a distinct server. Shamir...

tRFdb: a database for transfer RNA fragments

We have created tRFdb, the first database of transfer RNA fragments (tRFs), available at http://genome.bioch.virginia.edu/trfdb/. With over 100 small RNA libraries analyzed, the database currently contains the sequences and read counts of the three classes of tRFs for eight species: R. sphaeroides, S. pombe, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, Xenopus, zebra fish, mouse and human, for a total of 12,87...
