Topic 5: Parallel and Distributed Data Management

2013

Nowadays we are facing an exponential growth of new data that is overwhelming the capabilities of companies, institutions and the society in general to manage and use it in a proper way. Ever-increasing investments in Big Data, cutting edge technologies and the latest advances in both application development and underlying storage systems can help dealing with data of such magnitude. Especially parallel and distributed approaches will enable new data management solutions that operate effectively at large scale.

Hardware and Software Platforms for Distributed Computing on Resource Constrained Devices

2014

The basic idea of distributed computing is that it is possible to solve a large problem by using the resources of various computing devices connected in a network. Each device interacts with each other in order to process a part of a problem, contributing to the achievement of a global solution. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an example of distributed computing on low resources devices. WSNs encountered a considerable success in many application areas. Due to the constraints related to the small sensor nodes capabilities, distributed computing in WSNs allows to perform complex tasks in a collaborative way, reducing power consumption and increasing battery life. Many hardware platforms …
