Building on achievements and experience gained through the EU project DAMOCLES and international data management during the International Polar Year, ACCESS, data management was implemented using the same platform as used for DAMOCLES. A metadata-driven approach through which all datasets are properly described with discovery and use metadata was chosen in order to simplify data management and ...

Virtually all modern enterprise applications manipulate data represented in multiple formats, such as objects in a programming language, rows in relational databases, or XML structures, which are exposed through distinct programming models. As a result, application developers face a constant challenge of translating data and data access operations across different data representations. Even in ...

Ob’ t’ Iec rve: To evaluate the performance of tools for authoring patient database

The data access object (DAO) pattern tries to decouple the access to data from its underlying storage. Persisting data currently relies heavily on the type of database used: Relational database, object-oriented databases, flat files. It would be preferable to chose the type of database used during the deployment phase instead of the design phase. By using data access objects the data is decoupl...

Mobile devices and wireless networks are becoming more powerful and affordable, leading to the growing importance of mobile data access. Unfortunately, mobile environments are inherently turbulent; the resources available to mobile clients change dramatically and unpredictably over time. This dissertation puts forth the claim that clients must adapt their behavior to such turbulence by trading ...

This document describes the Data Access Layer Interface (DALI). DALI defines the base web service interface common to all Data Access Layer (DAL) services. This standard defines the behaviour of common resources, the meaning and use of common parameters, success and error responses, and DAL service registration. The goal of this specification is to define the common elements that are shared acr...

With technological advancements, the large volume of data generated every day is increasing exponentially. The primary source smart devices, Internet Things (IoT), and social communication network groups. This paved way for cloud computing to offer massive storage capacity powerful computational resources. conventional method processing in not scalable cannot meet requirements latency-critical ...
