This book takes its reader on a journey through Apache Giraph, a popular distributed graph processing platform designed to bring the power of big data processing to graph data. Designed as a step-by-step self-study guide for everyone interested in large-scale graph processing, it describes the fundamental abstractions of the system, its programming models and various techniques for using the system to process graph data at scale, including the implementation of several popular and advanced graph analytics algorithms.

The book is organized as follows: Chapter 1 starts by...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications, SISAP 2016, held in Tokyo, Japan, in October 2016.

The 18 full papers and 7 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The program of the conference was grouped in 8 categories as follows: graphs and networks; metric and permutation-based indexing; multimedia; text and document similarity; comparisons and benchmarks; hashing techniques; time-evolving data; and scalable similarity search.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2016, held in Helsinki, Finland in July 2016.

The 25 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers are organized around the following topics: message passing; shared memory; mobile agent; data dissemination and routing.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th Japanese Conference on Discrete and Computational Geometry and Graphs, JDCDGG 2015, held in Kyoto, Japan, in September 2015.

The total of 25 papers included in this volume was carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers feature advances made in the field of computational geometry and focus on emerging technologies, new methodology and applications, graph theory and dynamics.

This proceedings are dedicated to Naoki Katoh on the occasion of his retirement from Kyoto...

This book is a key resource that explains step by step, the essential skills required to rigorously construct and quality assure Logical Data Models. It also defines the processes required for organisations to successfully adopt them, and so align their systems, operations and strategic direction.
In the last decade, Data Models have made the transition from being ad-hoc and limited in scope, to becoming a central pillar of the Enterprise Data Architectural landscape. Arguably they are now more important than ever. It is only with a full and agreed understanding of the 'What?',...

This timely text/reference explores the business and technical issues involved in the management of information systems in the era of big data and beyond. The book presents a solid introduction to the concepts of information systems and big data, guiding the reader from first principles and making extensive use of examples to promote a deeper understanding of both theory and practice.

Topics and features: presents review questions and discussion topics in each chapter for classroom group work and individual research assignments; discusses the potential use of a variety of big data...

This engaging volume celebrates the life and work of Theodor Holm "Ted" Nelson, a pioneer and legendary figure from the history of early computing. Presenting contributions from world-renowned computer scientists and figures from the media industry, the book delves into hypertext, the docuverse, Xanadu, and other products of Ted Nelson's unique mind.

Topics and features: includes a cartoon and a sequence of poems created in Nelson's honor, reflecting his wide-ranging and interdisciplinary intellect; presents peer histories, providing a sense of the milieu that resulted...

Designing and controlling complex shapes like porous volumes and rough surfaces is a challenge. Fractal geometry is an interesting approach which considerably simplify the problem. Even though underlying concepts reduce the set possible shapes, they generate a surprising variety of shapes.

In this book we present a formalism to design such complex objects for geometric aided geometry design applications. The goal of this formalism is to provide to the end user the possibility to manipulate fractal objects as a standard euclidean object with standard tools of CAD system. This...

This book provides a short, hands-on introduction to the science of complexity using simple computational models of natural complex systems--with models and exercises drawn from physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. By working through the models and engaging in additional computational explorations suggested at the end of each chapter, readers very quickly develop an understanding of how complex structures and behaviors can emerge in natural phenomena as diverse as avalanches, forest fires, earthquakes, chemical reactions, animal flocks, and epidemic diseases.

If you're just getting started with Tableau software--or already know the basics--this practical book will take you to the next level for building compelling, interactive data visualization applications. Author Ryan Sleeper is one of the most qualified Tableau consultants in the world, having earned the titles of Tableau Zen Master (2016/17), Tableau Iron Viz Champion (2013), and author of the Tableau Public Visualization of the Year (2015). Practical Tableau takes you beyond web posts and videos to give you a firm understanding in Tableau for finding valuable insights in...

We live in a three-dimensional world. To design objects for everyday living, users must learn how to create in three dimensions. For precise modern designs that must conform to specific tolerances, we use computers to create a digital model first, and then pass that model on to a machine, such as a CNC router or 3D printer for fabrication.

There are many software packages that are used to create digital models. One such package that is popular for industrial, product, and graphic design and architecture is Rhinoceros 3D, or -Rhino.- Grasshopper is a visual scripting...
