Full textAbstract:
Temporal database management systems provide integrated support for the storage and retrieval of time-varying information. Despite the extensive research which has been performed in this area over the last fifteen years, no commercial products exist and few viable prototypes have been constructed. It is our thesis that through the use of the proper abstractions, it is possible to construct a temporal database management system with robust semantics, without sacrificing performance, and with minimal implementation cost. Our approach parallels the development of relational database management systems, beginning with a theoretically sound abstract model, and then developing the underlying techniques to efficiently implement it. The major theme underlying this research is practicality, in terms of both semantics and implementation. We will show that expressive temporal semantics can be supported while still maintaining reasonable performance, and with relatively small implementation effort. This is made possible, in part, by minimally extending the relational model to support time, thereby allowing the reuse or easy adaptation of well-established relational technology. In particular, we investigate how relational database design, algebras, architectures, and query evaluation can be adapted or extended to the temporal context. Our aim is that software vendors could incorporate these results into existing non-temporal, commercial products with relatively small effort.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the inclusion of a variety of time-related or 'temporal' datatypes in the SQL-92 standard, vendors of commercially-available Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) have universally elected to not fully comply with the standard. Perhaps even more frustrating is the fact that each vendor has chosen to include a different subset of temporal datatypes than their competitors, with most vendors adding a proprietary twist to their datatypes not even contained within the standard.
This lack of conformity has left users of these database products faced with a difficult choice: either avoid temporal functionality within their database applications or develop and manage complex and often convoluted code to insert, maintain, and query this important data. Industry is replete with examples of both choices; not all of which have happy endings.
This project demonstrates some of the options available to RDBMS users who choose to employ temporal functionality in their applications. Alternatives are presented using a conceptual human resources application deployed via internet. Data is stored in a commercial RDBMS product. Solutions to temporal storage and query issues are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Há alguns anos, a necessidade de armazenar a história das informações e o período no qual as mesmas são válidas ou não no mundo real, está crescendo. As próprias leis vigentes no país fazem com que isto seja uma necessidade quando, por exemplo, criam uma tabela de tempo de validade para o armazenamento de documentos fiscais ou de recursos humanos. Neste âmbito destaca-se a importância do estudo de modelos de dados temporais que gerenciem este tipo de informação. Tais modelos definem a forma como as informações são organizadas, mantidas e recuperadas. A implementação destes modelos, entretanto, é realizada sobre bancos de dados (BD) convencionais, uma vez que ainda não existe um BD totalmente temporal. O mapeamento de um modelo temporal sobre um convencional não impede que sejam satisfeitas todas as necessidades de representação temporal, desde que seja realizado de forma coerente. As diferentes informações temporais que podem ser utilizadas para a representação de tempo são o tempo de transação e o tempo de validade. Quando se deseja uma representação completa da realidade, utilizam-se bancos de dados bitemporais, através dos quais é possível recuperar todas as informações passadas, presentes e futuras. Este trabalho apresenta o mapeamento de um modelo de dados bitemporal (modelo TF-ORM) para um SGBD convencional (Oracle). Este mapeamento compreende, além das informações temporais, todas as características do modelo, dentre as quais: classes e papéis, mensagens, regras, propriedades dinâmicas e estáticas. É apresentada, ainda, a definição de um gerenciador temporal, o qual busca automatizar o que é implementado. Complementando o estudo realizado, são apresentadas sugestões de operações a serem realizadas pelos desenvolvedores de aplicações temporais quando da manutenção das informações. As operações de inserção, atualização e remoção em uma base temporal são analisadas, independente do tipo de BD temporal implementado. Um estudo de caso é apresentado para validar todas as definições realizadas.The need for storing the information’s history and the period in which they are still valid in the real world has been growing in the last few years. The very existing laws in the country make it necessary when, for instance, a validity temporal table is created for storing business or human resources documents. Therefore, the study of temporal data models which manage this kind of information has become very important. Such models define the way in which the information is organized, kept and recovered. The implementation of these models, though, is carried out over conventional data bases (DB), once there is no a totally temporal DB. The mapping of a temporal model over a conventional one allows all of its requirements to be met, as long as it is made coherently. The different temporal information that can be used for time representation are the transaction time and the validity time. Whenever a complete representation of the reality is wanted, bitemporal databases are used. These bases make it possible to recover all the past information as well as present and future information. This work presents the mapping of a temporal data model (TF-ORM model) for a conventional DBMS (Oracle). Besides the temporal information, this mapping comprehends all the model’s characteristics, such as: classes and roles, messages, rules, dynamic and static properties. It is also presented a definition of a temporal manager which aims at automating what is implemented. In addition to this study, suggestions of operations to be carried out by the developers of temporal applications for the maintenance of the information are presented. The operations of inserting, updating and removing on temporal base are analyzed, apart from the kind of DB implemented. A case study is presented in order to validate all the definitions made.

A Temporal database is one that supports some aspect of time distinct from user defined time. Over the last two decades interest in the field of temporal databases has increased significantly, with contributions from many researchers. However, the lack of efficient access methods is perhaps one of the reasons why commercial RDBMS vendors have been reluctant to adopt the advances in temporal database research. Therefore, an obvious research question is: can we develop more robust and more efficient access methods for temporal databases than the existing ones? This thesis attempts to address this question, and the main contributions of this study are summarised as follows: We investigated different representations of 'now' and how the modelling of current time influences the efficiency of accessing 'now relative' temporal data. A new method, called the 'Point' approach, is proposed. Our approach not only elegantly models the current time but also significantly outperforms the existing methods. We proposed a new index structure, called a Virtual Binary tree (VB-tree), based on spatial representation of interval data and a regular triangular decomposition of this space. Further, we described a sound and complete query algorithm. The performance of the algorithm is then evaluated both asymptotically and experimentally with respect to the state-of-the-art in the field. We claim that the VB-tree requires less space and uses fewer disk accesses than the currently best known structure - the RI-tree.

Full textAbstract:
Today, in the world of information technology, conceptual model representation of database schemas is challenging for users both in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) domain. The primary way to resolve this issue, in both domains, is to use a model that is concise, interpretable and clear to understand, yet encompasses all of the required information to be able to clearly define the database. A temporal database is understood as a database capable of supporting reasoning of time-based data for e.g.: a temporal database can answer questions such as: - for what period was Mrs Jones single before she got married? On the other hand, an atemporal database stores data that is valid today and has no history. In the thesis, I looked at different theoretical temporal visual conceptual models proposed by temporal researchers and aimed, by means of a user-survey consisting of business users, to ascertain towards which models users a preference has. I further asked the users for firstly; whether they prefer textual or graphical representations for the entities, attributes and constraints represented by the visual models, or secondly; whether there is a preference for a specific graphical icon for the temporal entities and lastly; to ascertain if the users show a preference towards a specific theoretical temporal conceptual model. The methodology employed to reach my goal in this thesis, is one of experiments on business users with knowledge enhancements after each experiment. Users were to perform a task, and then based on analysis of the task results, they are taught additional temporal aspects so as improve their knowledge before the next experiment commences. The ultimate aim was to extract a visual conceptual model preference from business users with enhanced knowledge of temporal aspects. This is the first work done in this field and thus will aid researchers in future work, as they will have a temporal conceptual model that promotes effective communication, understandability and interpretability.

Full textAbstract:
Many activities are comprised of temporally dependent events that must be executed in a specific chronological order. Supportive software applications must preserve these temporal dependencies. Whenever the processing of this type of an application includes transactions submitted to a database that is shared with other such applications, the transaction concurrency control mechanisms within the database must also preserve the temporal dependencies. A basis for preserving temporal dependencies is established by using (within the applications and databases) real-time timestamps to identify and order events and transactions. The use of optimistic approaches to transaction concurrency control can be undesirable in such situations, as they allow incorrect results for database read operations. Although the incorrectness is detected prior to transaction committal and the corresponding transaction(s) restarted, the impact on the application or entity that submitted the transaction can be too costly. Three transaction concurrency control algorithms are proposed in this dissertation. These algorithms are based on timestamp ordering, and are designed to preserve temporal dependencies existing among data-dependent transactions. The algorithms produce execution schedules that are equivalent to temporally ordered serial schedules, where the temporal order is established by the transactions' start times. The algorithms provide this equivalence while supporting currency to the extent out-of-order commits and reads. With respect to the stated concern with optimistic approaches, two of the proposed algorithms are risk-free and return to read operations only committed data-item values. Risk with the third algorithm is greatly reduced by its conservative bias. All three algorithms avoid deadlock while providing risk-free or reduced-risk operation. The performance of the algorithms is determined analytically and with experimentation. Experiments are performed using functional database management system models that implement the proposed algorithms and the well-known Conservative Multiversion Timestamp Ordering algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of incorporating time in databases has been well realized by the community and time varying databases have been extensively studied by researchers. The main idea is to model up-to-date changes to data since it became available. Time information is mostly overlaid on the
traditional databases, and extensional time dimension helps in inquiring or past datathis all becomes possible only once the idea is realized and favored by commercial database management systems. Unfortunately, one disadvantage of the temporal database management system is that it has not been commercialized. Firstly XML ,eXtensible Markup Language, is a defacto standard for data interchange and hence integrating XML as the data model is decided. The motivation for the work described in this thesis is two-fold
transferring databases into XML with changing crisp values into fuzzy variables describing fuzzy sets and second bitemporal databases form one interesting type of temporal databases. Thus, purpose is to suggest a complete automated system that converts any bitemporal database to its fuzzy XML schema definition. However, the implemented temporal database operators are database content independent. Fuzzy elements are capable of having different membership functions and varying number of linguistic variables. A scheme for determining membership function parameters is proposed. Finally, fuzzy queries have also been implemented as part of the system.

Full textAbstract:
Real-time Spatio-Temporal Analytics has become an integral part of Epidemiological studies. The size of the spatio-temporal data has been increasing tremendously over the years, gradually evolving into Big Data. The processing in such domains are highly data and compute intensive. High performance computing resources resources are actively being used to handle such workloads over massive datasets. This confluence of High performance computing and datasets with Big Data characteristics poses great challenges pertaining to data handling and processing. The resource management of supercomputers is in conflict with the data-intensive nature of spatio-temporal analytics. This is further exacerbated due to the fact that the data management is decoupled from the computing resources. Problems of these nature has provided great opportunities in the growth and development of tools and concepts centered around MapReduce based solutions. However, we believe that advanced relational concepts can still be employed to provide an effective solution to handle these issues and challenges.
In this study, we explore distributed databases to efficiently handle spatio-temporal Big Data for epidemiological studies. We propose DiceX (Data Intensive Computational Epidemiology using supercomputers), which couples high-performance, Big Data and relational computing by embedding distributed data storage and processing engines within the supercomputer. It is characterized by scalable strategies for data ingestion, unified framework to setup and configure various processing engines, along with the ability to pause, materialize and restore images of a data session. In addition, we have successfully configured DiceX to support approximation algorithms from MADlib Analytics Library [54], primarily Count-Min Sketch or CM Sketch [33][34][35].
DiceX enables a new style of Big Data processing, which is centered around the use of clustered databases and exploits supercomputing resources. It can effectively exploit the cores, memory and compute nodes of supercomputers to scale processing of spatio-temporal queries on datasets of large volume. Thus, it provides a scalable and efficient tool for data management and processing of spatio-temporal data. Although DiceX has been designed for computational epidemiology, it can be easily extended to different data-intensive domains facing similar issues and challenges.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis researches the problems concerning the specification and implementation of the temporal requirements in data warehouses. The thesis focuses on two areas, firstly, the methods for identifying and capturing the business information needs and associated temporal requirements at the conceptual level and; secondly, methods for classifying and implementing the requirements at the logical level using the relational model. At the conceptual level, eight candidate methodologies were investigated to examine their suitability for the creation of data models that are appropriate for a data warehouse. The methods were evaluated to assess their representation of time, their ability to reflect the dimensional nature of data warehouse models and their simplicity of use. The research found that none of the methods under review fully satisfied the criteria. At the logical level, the research concluded that the methods widely used in current practice result in data structures that are either incapable of answering some very basic questions involving history or that return inaccurate results. Specific proposals are made in three areas. Firstly, a new conceptual model is described that is designed to capture the information requirements for dimensional models and has full support for time. Secondly, a new approach at the logical level is proposed. It provides the data structures that enable the requirements captured in the conceptual model to be implemented, thus enabling the historical questions to be answered simply and accurately. Thirdly, a set of rules is developed to help minimise the inaccuracy caused by time. A guide has been produced that provides practitioners with the tools and instructions on how to implement data warehouses using the methods developed in the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
O modelo TF-ORM (Temporal Functionality in Objects With Roles Model) é um modelo de dados temporal orientado a objetos que utiliza o conceito de papeis para representar os diferentes comportamentos dos objetos. 0 modelo permite a modelagem dos aspectos estáticos e dinâmicos da aplicação pois considera todos os estados dos objetos ao longo de sua evolução. Sua linguagem de consulta e baseada na linguagem SQL e possibilita a recuperação de diferentes histórias do banco de dados. Este trabalho apresenta um sistema visual de consulta para o modelo TFORM. O VQS TF-ORM (Visual Query System TF-ORM) é um ambiente para recuperação de informações temporais. O sistema permite que as consultas sejam elaboradas de três formas alternativas: textual, gráfica ou por formulários. A linguagem gráfica possui o mesmo poder de expressão da linguagem textual, permitindo que a consulta seja elaborada diretamente sobre o esquema conceitual gráfico do modelo com o auxilio de um conjunto de janelas e elementos visuais. A recuperação de informações utilizando-se formulários não possui o mesmo poder de expressão da linguagem textual, mas possibilita a recuperação dos valores das propriedades de um determinado objeto através de uma hierarquia de janelas. A recuperação de informações através do sistema visual de consulta do modelo apresenta algumas facilidades tais como: representação visual dos operadores temporais do modelo, definição de níveis de detalhe e navegação sobre o esquema gráfico, armazenamento das consultas para posterior utilizando, possibilidade de representar uma consulta textual na forma visual e vice-versa, entre outras. Alem da preocupação com a definição de restrições temporais, o ambiente considera ainda as diferentes formas de apresentação do resultado da consulta que podem ser selecionadas pelo usuário. No sistema apresentado neste trabalho, o modelo TF-ORM é implementado em um banco de dados relacional que utiliza a linguagem SQL para recuperação de informações. Para a implementação do modelo em um banco de dados relacional foi feito um mapeamento, que determina como os conceitos de orientação a objetos, papel e tempo devem ser mapeados para tabelas e atributos no modelo relacional. As consultas realizadas na linguagem TF-ORM são então traduzidas para a linguagem de consulta do banco de dados relacional. O ambiente foi implementado utilizando a ferramenta para desenvolvimento de aplicações Delphi e o banco de dados Watcom, um banco de dados relacional que permite a recuperação de informações no padrão SQL/ANSI.TF-ORM model (Temporal Functionality in Objects with Roles Model) is an object-oriented temporal data model which uses the role concept to represent different behaviors of objects. The model allows modelling of the static and the dynamic aspects of an application representing all the states of its evolution. The TF-ORM query language is based on the SQL language and enables the recovery of different database histories. This work represents a visual query system for the TF-ORM model. The VQS TF-ORM (Visual Query System TF-ORM) is an environment for recovery of temporal information. The system allows queries to be elaborated in three alternatives way: textual, graphic or by forms. The graphic language has the same functionality of the textual lan g uage permitting the query to be elaborated directly on the graphic conceptual schema of the model this operation is supported by a set of windows and visual elements. The information recovery using forms doesn't have the same functionality of the textual lan guage, but enables recovery of property values of an object through window hierarchies. Information recovery using the visual query system of the model presents some facilities: the visual representation of temporal operators, different levels of details for the navigation on the graphic schema, query storage for later use, possibility of representing a textual query in a visual way and vice-versa. The environment supports the definition of temporal constraints and the selection by the user of different representations forms for the results of a query. In the presented system, the TF-ORM model is implemented in a relational database which uses SQL language for information recovery. In order to implement the model in a relational database, a mapping was done - the concepts of the object orientation, roles and time were mapped in to tables and attributes to the relational model. The queries performed in the TF-ORM language are translated into the query lan guage of relational database. The environment was implemented using Delphi and the Watcom database, a relational database which allows information recovery in SQL/ANSI standard.

Full textAbstract:
In a distributed real-time environment where it is imperative to make correct decisions it is important to have all facts available to make the most accurate decision in a certain situation. An example of such an environment is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system where several UAVs cooperate to carry out a certain task and the data recorded is analyzed after the completion of the mission. This project aims to define and implement a time series architecture for use together with a distributed real-time database for the ability to store temporal data. The result from this project is a time series (TS) architecture that uses DeeDS, a distributed real-time database, for storage. The TS architecture is used by an application modelled from a UAV scenario for storing temporal data. The temporal data is produced by a simulator. The TS architecture solves the problem of storing temporal data for applications using DeeDS. The TS architecture is also useful as a foundation for integrating time series in DeeDS since it is designed for space efficiency and real-time requirements.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines sequential mining approaches in the context of treatment recommendation for Gliblastoma (GBM) patients. GBM is the most lethal and biologically the most aggressive forms of brain tumor with median survival of approximately 1 year. A significant challenge in treating such rare forms of cancer is to make the best decision about optimal treatment plans for patients after standard of care. We tailor the existing sequential mining approaches by adding constraints to mine significant treatment options for cancer patients. The goal of the work is to analyze which treatment patterns play a role in prolonging the survival period of patients. In addition to the treatment analysis, we also discover some interesting clinical and genomic factors, which influence the survival period of patients.
A treatment advisor tool has been developed based on the predictive features discovered. This tool is used to recommend treatment guidelines for a new patient based on the treatments meted out to other patients sharing clinical similarity with the new patient. The recommendations are also guided by the influential treatment patterns discovered in the study. The tool is based on the notion of patient similarity and uses a weighted function to calculate the same.
The recommendations made by the tool may influence the clinicians to have the patients record some vital data on their own. With the progression of the treatment the clinicians may want to add to or modify some of the vital data elements previously decided to be recorded. In such a case a static database would not be very efficient to record the data since manual intervention is inevitable to incorporate the changes in the database structure. To solve this problem we have developed a dynamic database evolution framework, which uses a form based interface to interact with the clinician to add or modify the data elements in a database. The clinicians are flexible to create a new form for patients or modify existing forms based on a patient’s condition. As a result, appropriate schema modifications would be done in the relational database at the backend to incorporate these changes maintaining relational consistency.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate different concepts and tools which could support the development of a middleware which persists a temporal and versioned relational data model in an enterprise environment. Further requirements for the target application was that changes to the data model had to be facilitated, so that a small change to the model would not result in changes in several files and application layers. Other requirements include permissioning and audit tracing. In the thesis the reader is presented with a comparison of a set of tools for enterprise development and object/relational mapping. One of the tools, a code generator, is chosen as a good candidate to match the requirements of the project. An implementation is presented, where the chosen tool is used. An XML-based language which is used to define a data model and to provide input data for the tool is presented. Other concepts concerning the implementation is then described in detail. Finally, the author discusses alternative solutions and future improvements.

Full textAbstract:
La croissance rapide et la complexité de nombreuses villes contemporaines offrent de nombreux défis de recherche pour les scientifiques à la recherche d'une meilleure compréhension des mobilités qui se produisent dans l'espace et dans le temps. A l’heure où de très grandes séries de données de trajectoires en milieu urbain sont disponibles grâce à profusion de nombreux capteurs de positionnement et de services de nombreuses et nouvelles opportunités de recherche et d’application nous sont offertes. Cependant, une bonne intégration de ces données de mobilité nécessite encore l'élaboration de cadres méthodologiques et conceptuels tout comme la mise en oeuvre de bases de données spatio-temporelles qui offriront les capacités appropriées de représentation et de manipulation des données. La recherche développée dans cette thèse introduit une modélisation conceptuelle et une approche de gestion de base de données spatio-temporelles pour représenter et analyser des trajectoires humaines dans des espaces urbains. Le modèle considère les dimensions spatiales, temporelles et sémantiques afin de tenir compte de l’ensemble des propriétés issues des informations de mobilité. Plusieurs abstractions de données de mobilité et des outils de manipulation de données sont développés et expérimentés à partir d’une large base de données de trajectoires disponibles dans la ville de Pékin. L'intérêt de l'approche est double: il montre d’une part que de larges ensembles de données de mobilité peuvent être intégrés au sein de SGBD spatiotemporels extensibles; d’autre part des outils de manipulation et d’interrogation spécifiques peuvent être dérivés à partir de fonctions intégrées au sein d’un langage d’interrogation. Le potentiel de l’approche est illustré par une série d’interrogations qui montrent comment à partir d’une large base de données de trajectoires quelques patrons de déplacements peuvent être obtenusMassive trajectory datasets generated in modern cities generate not only novel research opportunities but also important methodological challenges for academics and decision-makers searching for a better understanding of travel patterns in space and time. This PhD research is oriented towards the conceptual and GIS-based modeling of human displacements derived from large sets of urban trajectories. The motivation behind this study originates from the necessity to search for and explore travel patterns that emerge from citizens acting in the city. Our research introduces a conceptual modelling framework whose objective is to integrate and analyze human displacements within a GIS-based practical solution. The framework combines conceptual and logical models that represent travel trajectories of citizens moving in a given city. The whole approach has been implemented in a geographical database system, experimented in the context of transportation data, and enriched by a series of query interface manipulations and specific functions that illustrate the potential of our whole framework for urban studies. The whole framework has been experimented on top of the Geolife project and large trajectories datasets available in the city of Beijing. Overall, the findings are twofold: first, it appears that our modelling framework can appropriately act as an extensible geographical database support for the integration of large trajectory datasets; second the approach shows that several emerging human displacements can be explored from the manipulation of large urban trajectories

Entre as áreas que mais se desenvolvem na informática nos últimos anos estão aquelas relacionadas ao crescimento da rede Internet, que interliga milhões de usuários de todo o mundo. Esta rede disponibiliza aos usuários uma a enorme variedade e quantidade de informações, principalmente dados armazenados de forma não estruturada ou semi estruturada. Contudo, tal volume e heterogeneidade acaba dificultando a manipulação dos dados recuperados a partir da Internet. Este problema motivou o desenvolvimento deste trabalho. Mesmo com o auxílio de várias ferramentas de pesquisa na Internet, buscando realizar pesquisas sobre assuntos específicos, o usuário ainda tem que manipular em seu computador pessoal uma grande quantidade de informação, pois estas ferramentas não realizam um processo de seleção detalhado. Ou seja, são recuperados muitos dados não interessantes ao usuário. Existe, também, uma grande diversidade de assuntos e padrões de transferência e armazenamento da informação criando os mais heterogêneos ambientes de pesquisa e consulta de dados. Esta heterogeneidade faz com que o usuário da rede deva conhecer todo um conjunto de padrões e ferramentas a fim de obter a informação desejada. No entanto, a maior dificuldade de manipulação esta ligada aos formatos de armazenamento não estruturados ou pouco estruturados, como, por exemplo: arquivos textos, Mails (correspondência eletrônica) e artigos de News (jornais eletrônicos). Nestes formatos, o entendimento do documento exige a leitura do mesmo pelo usuário, o que muitas vezes acarreta em um gasto de tempo desnecessário, pois o documento, por exemplo, pode não ser de interesse deste ou, então, ser de interesse, mas sua leitura completa só seria útil posteriormente. Várias informações, como chamadas de trabalhos para congressos, preços de produtos e estatísticas econômicas, entre outras, apresentam validade temporal. Outras informações são atualizadas periodicamente. Muitas dessas características temporais são explicitas, outras estão implícitas no meio de outros tipos de dados. Isto torna muito difícil a recuperação de tal tipo de informação, gerando, várias vezes, a utilização de informações desatualizadas, ou a perda de oportunidades. Desta forma, o grande volume de dados em arquivos pessoais obtidos a partir da Internet criou uma complexa tarefa de gerenciamento dos mesmos em conseqüência da natureza não estruturada dos documentos recuperados e da complexidade da análise do tempo de validade inerente a estes dados. Com o objetivo de satisfazer as necessidades de seleção e conseqüente manipulação das informações existentes a nível local (computador pessoal), neste trabalho, é descrito um sistema para extração e sumarização destes dados, utilizando conceitos de IE (Information Extraction) e Sistemas Baseados em Conhecimento. Os dados processados são parcialmente estruturados ou não estruturados, sendo manipulados por um extrator configurado a partir de bases de conhecimento geradas pelo usuário do sistema. O objetivo final desta dissertação é a implementação do Sistema de Extração Semântica de Informações, o qual permite a classificação dos dados extraídos em classes significativas para o usuário e a determinação da validade temporal destes dados a partir da geração de uma base de dados estruturada.One of the most challenging area in Computer Science is related to Internet technology. This network offers to the users a large variety and amount of information, mainly, data storage in unstructured or semi-structured formats. However, the vast data volume and heterogeneity transforms the retrieved data manipulation a very arduous work. This problem was the prime motivation of this work. As with many tools for data retrieval and specific searching, the user has to manipulate in his personal computer an increasing amount of information, because these tools do not realize a precise data selection process. Many retrieval data are not interesting for the user. There are, also, a big diversity of subjects and standards in information transmission and storage, creating the most heterogeneous environments in data searching and retrieval. Due to this heterogeneity, the user has to know many data standards and searching tools to obtain the requested information. However, the fundamental problem for data manipulation is the partially or fully unstructured data formats, as text, mail and news data structures. For files in these formats, the user has to read each of the files to filter the relevant information, originating a loss of time, because the document could be not interesting for the user, or if it is interesting, its complete reading may be unnecessary at the moment. Some information as call-for-papers, product prices, economic statistics and others, has associated a temporal validity. Other information are updated periodically. Some of these temporal characteristics are explicit, others are implicitly embedded in other data types. As it is very difficult to retrieve the temporal data automatically, which generate, many times, the use of invalid information, as a result, some opportunities are lost. On this paper a system for extraction and summarizing of data is described. The main objective is to satisfy the user's selection needs and consequently information manipulation stored in a personal computer. To achieve this goal we are employed the concepts of Information Extraction (IE) and Knowledge Based Systems. The input data manipulation is done by an extraction procedure configured by a user who defined knowledge base. The objective of this paper is to develop a System of Semantic Extraction of Information which classifies the data extracted in meaningful classes for the user and to deduce the temporal validity of this data. This goal was achieved by the generation of a structured temporal data base.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorAtualmente, o Brasil se apresenta como um grande produtor agrícola mundial com finalidade alimentícia e bioenergética. Ano a ano recordes de produção são batidos pelo setor agropecuário. Por outro lado, tem-se uma perspectiva de problemas alimentícios e energéticos no mundo, em especial no continente africano onde muitos vivem na miséria e na fome. Neste contexto, esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta uma proposta para a análise da dinâmica espaço-temporal de culturas agrícolas empregando os conceitos e instrumentos da Geomática em busca do desenvolvimento sustentável. Desenvolveu-se uma metodologia para a geração de indicadores da produção agrícola em diferentes níveis da estrutura territorial brasileira que permite a apresentação sintética, por meio de cartogramas e animações digitais, das dinâmicas espacial e espaço-temporal das principais culturas. Para isto foi criada uma base de dados da produção das principais culturas, desenvolvidos indicadores que representem a dinâmica espacial da produção agrícola e desenvolvidas ferramentas de apresentação destes indicadores através da dinâmica espaço-temporal. Finalmente, foram relacionadas as áreas voltadas à produção de alimentos e de expansão agrícola para a bioenergia (etanol e óleo de palma). Pretende-se, através deste trabalho, contribuir na tomada de decisão com ferramentas de visualização da realidade agropecuária brasileira. O trabalho estabelece ligações com os zoneamentos agroecológicos, os instrumentos de segurança alimentar e a pegada ecológica, com a apresentação da produção agrícola das culturas como cana-de-açúcar, milho, soja, palma de óleo e algodão.
At present, Brazil presents itself as a major agricultural producer for food and bio-energy purposes in the entire world. Year-to-year, production records are hit by the agricultural sector. On the other hand, there is a perspective for severe problems in food and energy supply in the world, especially in Africa, where many people live in poverty and hunger. In this context, this masters dissertation presents a proposal for the analysis of the spatio-temporal dynamics of the agricultural production using the concepts and tools of Geomatics in pursuit of sustainable development. It was developed a methodology for the generation of agricultural production indicators at different levels of Brazilian territorial structure which allows the synthetic presentation, through cartograms and digital animations, of the spatial and spatio-temporal dynamics of the main crops. For this, a database of the production of main crops was created, indicators that represent the spatial dynamics of agricultural production and presentation tools for these indicators through the space-temporal dynamics were developed. Finally, the areas with focus in the food production and agricultural expansion for bio-energy (ethanol and palm oil) production were related. It is intended, through this work, to contribute to the decision making with visualization tools of the reality of Brazilian agriculture. Links were developed with agro-ecological zoning, with the instruments of food security and with the ecological footprint, with the presentation of the agricultural production of crops such as sugar cane, corn, soybeans, palm oil and cotton.

O fator temporal é uma variável natural da maioria dos sistemas de informação, pois no mundo real os eventos ocorrem de maneira dinâmica, modicando continuamente os valores dos seus objetos no decorrer do tempo. Muitos desses sistemas precisam registrar essa modicação e atribuir os instantes de tempo em que cada informação foi válida no sistema. Este trabalho reúne as características relacionadas aos Bancos de Dados Temporais e Bancos de Dados Objeto-Relacionais. O objetivo primordial é propor uma forma de implementar alguns aspectos temporais, desenvolvendo um módulo que faça parte das características e funcionalidades internas de um SGBD. O módulo temporal contempla principalmente a parte de restrições de integridade temporal que é utilizada para manter a consistência da informação temporal armazenada. Para isso, é proposto um novo tipo de dado que melhor representa as marcas temporais dos objetos. Uma parte importante para a implementação desse projeto é a utilização de um SGBD objeto-relacional que possui algumas características orientadas a objetos que permitem a extensão de seus recursos, tornando-o capaz de gerenciar alguns aspectos temporais. O módulo temporal desenvolvido torna esses aspectos temporais transparentes para o usuário. Por conseqüência, esses usuários são capazes de utilizar os recursos temporais com maior naturalidade.The temporal factor is a natural variable of the majority of the information systems, therefore in the real world the events occur in dynamic way, modifying continuously the values of its objects in elapsing of the time. Many of these systems need to register this modication and to attribute the instants of time where each information was valid in the system. This work congregates the characteristics related to the Temporal Databases and Object-Relational Databases. The primordial objective is to consider a form to implement some temporal aspects, developing a module that is part of the characteristics and internal functionalities of a DBMS. The temporal module mainly contemplates the part of restrictions of temporal integrity that is used to keep the consistency of the stored temporal information. For this, a new data type is proposed that better represent the objects timestamps. An important part for the implementation of this project is the use of a object-relational DBMS that has some object-oriented characteristics that allow the extension of its resources, becoming capable to manage some temporal aspects. The developed temporal module becomes these transparent temporal aspects for the user. For consequence, these users are capable to use the temporal resources more naturally.

Temporal database systems extend relational database systems to support time-varying information. One important such extension is support for time-varying aggregate functions, such as a time-varying average. Our research will show that temporal aggregates may be specified in a semantically well defined manner yet be efficiently implemented as simple extensions to relational databases. We introduce a taxonomy of temporal aggregation, based on a study of all major temporal query languages containing aggregates. The taxonomy categorizes the expressiveness and functionality of temporal aggregation. Based on this taxonomy, we introduce extensions to TSQL2 for temporal aggregation. The proposed language constructs allow one to express the variety of features identified in the taxonomy. We briefly discuss the semantics for the temporal aggregate language extension. We introduce an operator for evaluating temporal aggregates in a temporal relational algebra; the operator was designed to implement the tuple semantics. We show that theoretically, the most efficient evaluation of a temporal aggregate over a relation with n unique timestamps requires Θ(n log n) time, with O(n log n) space in any decision tree algorithm. We provide an example algorithm meeting these requirements, utilizing a 2-3 tree. Based on the requirements for evaluation of the algebraic operator, we introduce a series of main memory algorithms for evaluating temporal aggregates, including the aggregation tree, k-ordered aggregation tree, the chalkboard algorithm, the linked-list algorithm, and show how to perform aggregation using a 2-3 tree. The algorithms exhibit different applicability depending on aspects of the input relation, including sort order, percentage of long-lived tuples, and number of tuples. We also provide an algorithm which executes using only a user-limited amount of memory, the paging aggregation tree. We characterize the effectiveness of these algorithms based on an empirical study of their performance.

Full textAbstract:
The Basin of Mexico, where the Mexico City Metropolitan Zone (MCMZ) and its 20 million inhabitants are located, has had a two-sided approach towards water management, as it has struggled to drain the lakes that once covered this region while at the same time it started to transport in water from adjacent basins in the 1950s for water supply. In addition, the large amount of water extracted from the Basin's aquifer has caused drawdown of the groundwater table and consequently, land subsidence which reaches 40 cm/yr in some areas.The inhabitants of the Basin of Mexico, which comprises five different political entities and in which different agencies are in charge of water supply rely on the Basin's aquifer system as its main water supply source. After analyzing the existing water management policies in the Basin, this work suggests that in order to improve water management a regional groundwater flow model is needed. In order to develop this regional model, different tasks need to be fulfilled: a regional database is needed and regional estimates of aquifer recharge are also required. In order to develop a regional hydrogeological database in this area, the use of both a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and a Geographic Information System (GIS) is proposed in order to improve regional data management in the study area. Data stored in this new database, the Basin of Mexico Hydrogeological Database (BMHDB) comprises data on climatological, borehole and runoff variables, readily providing information for the development of hydrogeological models.This work presents a daily soil water balance which uses different vegetation and soil types as well as the effect of topography on climatological variables and evapotranspiration used to estimate recharge to the regional aquifer. Through the application of this model, it has been shown that the mountains that enclose the Basin of Mexico are the main recharge areas of the Basin's regional aquifer system. The spatiLa gestion de l'eau dans le bassin de Mexico (où se trouve la zone métropolitaine de la ville de Mexico avec ses 20 millions d'habitants), a eu deux approches opposées: d'abord on a lutté pour vider les lacs qui couvraient cette région auparavant puis dans les années 50 on commencé a importer de l'eau d'autres bassins.De plus, les grandes quantités d'eau extraites de la couche aquifère du bassin ont causé l'abaissement du niveau de la table d'eaux souterraines et par conséquent, l'aisément du terrain jusqu'à 40 cm/année dans quelques secteurs.Les habitants du Bassin de Mexico, qui comprend 5 entités politiques et où plusieurs organismes sont chargés de la gestion de l'eau, obtiennent leur eau essentiellement de l'aquifère. Après analyse des politiques actuelles de gestion de l'eau du bassin, ce travail suggère qu'a fin d'améliorer cette gestion, un modèle régional d'écoulement d'eaux souterraines est nécessaire. A fin de développer ce modèle régional il faut: une base de données hydrogéologiques et des évaluations de la recharge de la couche aquifère. En ce qui concerne la base de données hydrogéologiques régionale, on propose l'utilisation d'une base de données relationnelle et d'un système d'information géographique, ceci a fin d'améliorer la gestion des données. Les données stockées dans cette nouvelle base de données: "Base de Données Hydrogéologiques du Bassin de Mexico" sont des variables climatologiques, de forage et d'écoulement, fournissant aisément des informations pour le développement des modèles hydrogéologiques.Ce travail présente un bilan quotidien de l'eau (qui considère différents types de végétation et de sol ainsi que l'effet de la topographie sur des variables climatologiques et sur l'evapotranspiration) lequel est employé pour estimer la recharge à la couche aquifère régionale. Par l'application de ce modèle, on a montré que les montagnes qui renferment le bassin du Mexique sont les

Full textAbstract:
Un SGBD temporel doit offrir les fonctionnalités permettant aux applications de dater les informations et de gérer l'histoire de leur évolution. Cette thèse présente le modèle d'historiques TEMPOS et le prototype qui a été réalisé au dessus du SGBD O2. TEMPOS s'appuie sur un modèle du temps, qui permet de manipuler des valeurs temporelles, simples et complexes, exprimées dans différentes unités. Le jeu d'unité est extensible, et les opérations définies sont indépendantes des unités. La multiplicité des formes externes des valeurs temporelles est également prise en compte. Le modèle d'historiques proposé dans TEMPOS intègre les fonctionnalités essentielles attendues pour gérer la dimension historique des informations d'une base de données. La définition de différents types d'historiques (discret, en escalier, interpolé) permet de donner la signification des valeurs saisies et d'interpoler les autres valeurs. Ainsi, en TEMPOS, un historique est vu comme une chronique (séquence de valeurs datées), un domaine temporel d'observation, et une fonction d'interpolation. Le modèle permet diverses structurations des historiques basées sur le regroupement d'instants. Les opérations d'interrogation des historiques sont issues de l'extension temporelle des opérateurs de l'algèbre relationnelle et également d'une adaptation d'opérateurs sur les séquences, qui permettent en particulier de raisonner sur la succession dans le temps. Les opérations classiques de mise à jour sont étendues pour prendre en compte la dimension temporelle. Toutes les opérations sur les historiques sont définies de manière à être indépendantes de la représentation et de l'unité d'observation temporelle des historiques. Le prototype comprend une hiérarchie de classes implantant les types et les opérations proposés dans TEMPOS, et un préprocesseur TempOQL permettant de manipuler des valeurs temporelles dans des requêtes OQL.

Full textAbstract:
Les avancées significatives qu’ont connu les technologies de capteurs, leur utilisation croissante ainsi que leur intégration dans les systèmes d’information permettent d’obtenir des descriptions temporelles riches d’environnements réels. L’information générée par de telles sources de données peut être qualifiée d’hétérogène sur plusieurs plans: types de mesures physiques, domaines et primitives temporelles, modèles de données etc. Dans ce contexte, l’application de méthodes de fouille de motifs constitue une opportunité pour la découverte de relations temporelles non-triviales, directement utilisables et facilement interprétables décrivant des phénomènes complexes. Nous proposons d’utiliser un ensemble d’abstraction temporelles pour construire une représentation unifiée, sous forme des flux d’intervalles (ou états), de l’information générée par un système hétérogène. Cette approche permet d’obtenir une description temporelle de l’environnent étudié à travers des attributs (ou états), dits de haut niveau, pouvant être utilisés dans la construction des motifs temporelles. A partir de cette représentation, nous nous intéressons à la découverte de dépendances temporelles quantitatives (avec information de délais) entre plusieurs flux d’intervalles. Nous introduisons le modèle de dépendances Complex Temporal Dependency (CTD) défini de manière similaire à une forme normale conjonctive. Ce modèle permets d’exprimer un ensemble riche de relations temporelles complexes. Pour ce modèle de dépendances nous proposons des algorithmes efficaces de découverte : CTD-Miner et ITLD - Interval Time Lag Discovery. Finalement, nous évaluons les performances de notre proposition ainsi que la qualité des résultats obtenus à travers des données issues de simulations ainsi que des données réelles collectées à partir de caméras et d’analyse vidéoThe increasing utilization of sensor devices in addition to human-given data make it possible to capture real world systems complexity through rich temporal descriptions. More precisely, the usage of a multitude of data sources types allows to monitor an environment by describing the evolution of several of its dimensions through data streams. One core characteristic of such configurations is heterogeneity that appears at different levels of the data generation process: data sources, time models and data models. In such context, one challenging task for monitoring systems is to discover non-trivial temporal knowledge that is directly actionable and suitable for human interpretation. In this thesis, we firstly propose to use a Temporal Abstraction (TA) approach to express information given by heterogeneous raw data streams with a unified interval-based representation, called state streams. A state reports on a high level environment configuration that is of interest for an application domain. Such approach solves problems introduced by heterogeneity, provides a high level pattern vocabulary and also permits also to integrate expert(s) knowledge into the discovery process. Second, we introduced the Complex Temporal Dependencies (CTD) that is a quantitative interval-based pattern model. It is defined similarly to a conjunctive normal form and allows to express complex temporal relations between states. Contrary to the majority of existing pattern models, a CTD is evaluated with automatic statistical assessment of streams intersection avoiding the use of any significance user-given parameter. Third, we proposed CTD-Miner a first efficient CTD mining framework. CTD-Miner performs an incremental dependency construction. CTD-Miner benefits from pruning techniques based on a statistical correspondence relationship that aims to accelerate the exploration search space by reducing redundant information and provide a more usable result set. Finally, we proposed the Interval Time Lag Discovery (ITLD) algorithm. ITLD is based on a confidence variation heuristic that permits to reduce the complexity of the pairwise dependency discovery process from quadratic to linear w.r.t a temporal constraint Δ on time lags. Experiments on simulated and real world data showed that ITLD provides efficiently more accurate results in comparison with existing approaches. Hence, ITLD enhances significantly the accuracy, performances and scalability of CTD-Miner. The encouraging results given by CTD-Miner on our real world motion data set suggests that it is possible to integrate insights given by real time video processing approaches in a knowledge discovery process opening interesting perspectives for monitoring smart environments
