A Unified Relational Approach to Grid Information Services(GWD-GIS-012-1 (Informational)) Peter A. Dinda, Northwestern Beth Plale, Georgia Tech /~pdinda/relational-gis Related Work Steve Fisher, RAL Relational model for Grid Performance Working group Interesting thoughts on how to provide distributed relational model Jennifer Schopf, “The Dictionary Project” Claim Applications need common compositional queries over information of varying dynamicity Approach Build down from an RDBMS world-view Relational = relational data model and queries Unified = tables and streams Research Questions How “far down” must we go? What extensions are needed? Outline Needs of Grid applications Why RDBMS? Our approach (and research) Existence proofs Call for participation Needs of Grid Applications Compositional queries Application-specific information aggregration Support for information of varying dynamicity Varying update rates and freshness requirements Seamless inclusion of streaming data A common data model and query language Powerful, high level, declarative, easy-to-optimize Some Examples Adaptive data parallel SOR Workflow Dv scientific visualization Distributed laboratories dQUOB RPS prediction system and Remos RPSDB Grid schedulers GridSearcher AdaptiveData Parallel SOR Startup: “Find 4 hosts which all have the same architecture and have a combined memory of 0.5 to 1 GB” Compositional Query Over Static Information Adaptation: “Tell me about instances in which the predicted load on any one of those 4 hosts exceeds the average of their predicted loads by 50%” Compositional Query Over Dynamic Information Our Approach Compositional queries as SQL queries Extensible type hierarchy Extensible schemas and indices Time-bounded non-deterministic queries Data streams as relations High update rates and freshness Friendly interfaces for non-experts Decentralized administration and data Supporting Compositional Queries Set operations - Relational Algebra - RDBMS Relat
