With the use of data warehouses, the need for faster access and analysis to historical and multidimensional data has arisen. Online analytical processing (OLAP), developed for this purpose, has provided suitable data structures that overcome some of the limitations of relational databases by providing rapid data analysis. OLAP can display and collect large amounts of data while providing searchable access to any data point and handle a wide variety of complex queries that match user interests. While OLAP enables querying and analysis of multi-dimensional numeric and alphanumeric data, there is still a need to support flexible queries and analyses on uncertain and fuzzy data due to the nature of the data existing the complex applications such as multimedia and spatiotemporal applications. This study presents how to handle various types of fuzzy spatiotemporal queries using our fuzzy SOLAP (spatial OLAP) based framework on meteorological databases, which inherently contain spatiotemporal data in addition to uncertainty and fuzziness. In this context, we describe the support for non-spatial and fuzzy spatial queries as well as fuzzy spatiotemporal query types. In addition, while OLAP mainly includes historical data and associated queries and analyzes, we describe how to handle predictive fuzzy spatiotemporal queries, which may require an inference mechanism. We also show that various complex queries, including predictive fuzzy spatiotemporal queries, are effectively and efficiently handled using our fuzzy SOLAP framework.

Modeling and Querying Fuzzy SOLAP-Based Framework
Keskin, Sinan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2022-03-01)
Nowadays, with the rise of sensor technology, the amount of spatial and temporal data is increasing day by day. Modeling data in a structured way and performing effective and efficient complex queries has become more essential than ever. Online analytical processing (OLAP), developed for this purpose, provides appropriate data structures and supports querying multidimensional numeric and alphanumeric data. However, uncertainty and fuzziness are inherent in the data in many complex database applications, esp...
A Cost-Aware Strategy for Query Result Caching in Web Search Engines
Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Oezguer (2009-01-01)
Search engines and large scale IR systems need to cache query results for efficiency and scalability purposes. In this study, we propose to explicitly incorporate the query costs in the static caching policy. To this end, a query’s cost is represented by its execution time, which involves CPU time to decompress the postings and compute the query-document similarities to obtain the final top-N answers. Simulation results using a large Web crawl data and a real query log reveal that the proposed strategy impr...
Flexible querying using structural and event based multimodal video data model
Oztarak, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2006-01-01)
Investments on multimedia technology enable us to store many more reflections of the real world in digital world as videos so that we carry a lot of information to the digital world directly. In order to store and efficiently query this information, a video database system (VDBS) is necessary. We propose a structural, event based and multimodal (SEBM) video data model which supports three different modalities that are visual, auditory and textual modalities for VDBSs and we can dissolve these three modaliti...
Improving the performance of Hadoop/Hive by sharing scan and computation tasks
Özal, Serkan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
MapReduce is a popular model of executing time-consuming analytical queries as a batch of tasks on large scale data. During simultaneous execution of multiple queries, many oppor- tunities can arise for sharing scan and/or computation tasks. Executing common tasks only once can reduce the total execution time of all queries remarkably. Therefore, we propose to use Multiple Query Optimization (MQO) techniques to improve the overall performance of Hadoop Hive, an open source SQL-based distributed warehouse sy...
Association rule mining using fuzzy spatial data cubes
Isik, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan (2006-07-01)
The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
