A Meta - Wrapper for Scaling up to Multiple
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current mediator and wrapper architectures do not have the exibility to scale to multiple wrapped sources, where some sources may be redundant, and some sources may provide incomplete answers to a query. We propose a meta-wrapper component which is capable of handling multiple wrapped sources, in a particular domain, where the multiple sources provide related information. The meta-wrapper makes these sources transparent to the mediator, and provides a single meta-wrapper interface for all these sources. Source descriptions specify the content and query capability of the sources. These are used to determine the meta-wrapper interface and to decide which queries from a mediator can be accepted. Sources are partitioned into equivalence classes, based on their descriptions. These equivalence classes are partially ordered, and the lattices that correspond to these orderings are used to identify the relevant sources for a query submitted by the mediator. If there is redundancy of the sources, the meta-wrapper identiies alternate sources for the query. A meta-wrapper cost model is then used to select among alternate relevant sources and choose the best plan.

متن کاملEffects of Far- and Near-Field Multiple Earthquakes on the RC SDOF Fragility Curves Using Different First Shock Scaling Methods
Typically, to study the effects of consecutive earthquakes, it is necessary to consider definite intensity levels of the first shock. Methods commonly used to define intensity involve scaling the first shock to a specified maximum interstorey drift. In this study the structure’s predefined elastic spectral acceleration caused by the first shock is also considered for scaling. This study aims to...
متن کاملAssociation between Tumor Necrosis Factor- α-308 G/A Polymorphism and Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex polygenic disease in which gene-environment interactions are important. A number of studies have investigated the association between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -308 G/A polymorphism (substitution G→A, designated as TNF1 and TNF2) and MS susceptibility in different populations, but the results of individual studies have been inconsistent. Therefore, per...
متن کاملA new 2D block ordering system for wavelet-based multi-resolution up-scaling
A complete and accurate analysis of the complex spatial structure of heterogeneous hydrocarbon reservoirs requires detailed geological models, i.e. fine resolution models. Due to the high computational cost of simulating such models, single resolution up-scaling techniques are commonly used to reduce the volume of the simulated models at the expense of losing the precision. Several multi-scale ...

Impressive progress has been made in global surgery in the past 10 years, and now serious and evidence-based national strategies are being developed for scaling-up surgical services in sub-Saharan Africa. Key to achieving this goal requires developing a realistic country-based estimate of burden of surgical disease, developing an accurate estimate of existing need, deve...
