Relevant Query Answering over Streaming and Distributed Data
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
This book examines the problem of relevant query answering over the Web and provides a comprehensive overview of relevant query answering over streaming and distributed data. In recent years, Web applications that combine highly dynamic data streams with data distributed over the Web to provide relevant answers have attracted increasing attention. Answering in a timely fashion, i.e., reactively, is one of the most important performance indicators, especially when the distributed data is evolving. The book proposes a solution that retains a local replica of the distributed data and offers various maintenance policies to refresh the replica over time. A limited refresh budget guarantees the reactiveness of the system. Focusing on stream processing and Semantic Web, it appeals to scientists and graduate students in the field.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
