Distributed Database Management System Data Model
Data Model
- A set of tools/ constructs used to model a database
- Record/Semantic
Legacy Data Models
- Hierarchical
- Network
- Relational
Relational Data Model
- Two major Strengths
- Three Components
- Relational databases based on relational Data Model
- A relation R defined over domains D1, D2, …., Dn is a set of n-tuples, <d1, d2, …, dn> such that <d1 D1……, dnDn
Schemes in RDB
- EMP(eNo, eName, eTitle, eSal, pNo, eResp, pDur)
- PROJ(pNo, pName, bud)
- Each of the attribute in these two relations has a domain, like…
- Domains need not to be distinct
Keys
Primary Key
- Minimum nonempty subset of a relation whose values uniquely identify each tuple in relation
- The superset of the key is super key, like…
- We also have candidate, alternate, secondary, foreign
Table
- Relation represented in a two dimensional form
EMP
PROJ
- After defining a relation’s scheme, it is populated
- Tuples are rows and attributes are cols
- Attributes get values from same domain
- Can have NULL value, but….
Normalization
- Step-by-step reversible process to produce anomalies free smarter tables
- Anomalies Types….
- Major step is decomposition
- Universal Relation approach
- Three Normal Forms
- BCNF
- Lossless decomposition
- Dependency preservation
Dependency Structure
- Norm. based on dependencies
- Up to BCNF on FDs
- MVD and P-JD
Dependencies
- A relation R defined on attributes A(A1, A2, …., An), if XA, YA, if for each value of X
- There is a unique value in Y, then X functionally determines Y, X Y
- If X Y and there is a Z X and Z Y, then X partially determines Y or Y is partially dependent on X
- A relation R defined on attributes A(A1, A2, …., An), if X A, Y A, Z A, if for each value of X
- There is unique value of (Y,Z) pair and Z depends only on X then X multi determines Z, X Z
P-J Dependency
- A relation R defined on attributes A(A1, A2, …., An), if X A, Y A, Z A, if R is equal to join of X, Y and Z then (X, Y, Z) constitute project-join dependency for R
- 1NF, attributes have only atomic values
- 2NF, there are no partial dependencies
- 3NF, for each X Y where Y is not in X, either X is a superkey of R or Y is prime attribute
Distributed Database Management System (Fragmentation Transparency)
Responsibility of Transparency
- Transparency is desirable but there is a compromise between level of Transparency and difficulty/cost
- The language/Compiler: to provide uniform method of manipulating data. Avoid connectivity details.
- Operating System: already provides in form of Device Drivers
- Can also provide network Trns. However not all provide complete.
- Third layer is DBMS. Uses features of Operating System in particular for network transparency.
- Practically, we get combination of all three.
Layers of Transparency
Reliability in DDBS
- Reliability through Distributed Transactions: Avoids simple point of failure
- Concurrency Issues: Transaction involving multiple records
- Failure Recovery: Involving multiple sites
Performance Improvement
- Through Data Localization
- Each site handles a portion of data, so contention of CPU or I/O is relatively less
- Reduces remote access delays; no matter how fast networks are latency delays are there and may be unacceptable in certain case
- Inter-query and Intra-query parallelism
Complicating Factors
- In case of Replication:
- Choose the appropriate copy
- Update impact reflected on all replicas
- Failure Recovery
- Complexity
- Cost: hardware and also the duplication of manpower
- Distribution of Control may cause problems if not used cautiously
The Problem Areas
- Database Design
- Query Processing
- Concurrency Control
- OS Support
- Heterogeneity
- Relationship among them
Distributed database Management Systems (Resembling Setups)
Resembling Setups
- Distributed Files: A collection of files stored on different computers of a network; not a DDBS
- DDBS is logically related, common structure among files, and accessed via same interface
- Multiprocessor System: multiple processors that share some form of memory
Shared Everything Tight Coupling
Shared Everything Loose Coupling
Shared Nothing
- DDBS is also different from a centralized system having C/S system involving network
Reasons for DDBS
- Local units want control over data.
- Consolidate data for integrated decisions
- Reduce telecommunication costs.
- Reduce the risk of telecommunication failures.
Promises of DDBSs
Transparency
- Data Independence
- Two types, Logical Data Independence and Physical Data Independence
- A transparent system hides the implementation details from its users
Network Transparency
- User should not only be free from network management activities rather it should be unaware of even existence of the network
- Location Transparency and Naming Transparency
Distributed database Management Systems (Distributed DB and DBMS)
Distributed DB and DBMS
Distributed Database: A collection of logically interrelated databases that are spread physically across multiple locations connected by a data communications link.
Main Characteristics
- Data at multiple sites
- DM at each site ind.
- Local requirements
- Global perspective
Where to apply
- Major two reasons that make an application a candidate to be DDBS application
- Large Number of Users
- Operation spread large geographical area
Example Applications
- Banking
- Air Ticketing
- Business at multiple locations
Distributed DBMS: A software system that permits the management of DDB and makes the distrib. transparent to the users
Decentralized Database: A collection of independent databases on non-networked computers.
Distributed Database Management Systems
Little bit of History
- Traditional File Processing System: the very first form of business data processing
- Each program contains data description that it manipulates
- Redundancy of data
- Problems in maintenance
File Processing Systems

Duplication of Data
Vulnerable to Inconsistency
Database Approach: (Also called centralized database) Database is a shared collection of logically related data
Database Approach
- Takes care of all major drawbacks of File System Environment plus more
Distributed Computing System
- A number of autonomous processing elements that are connected through a computer network and that cooperate in performing their assigned tasks
- Distributed System Software enables computers to coordinate and share
- The thing being distributed?
- Processing logic
- Functions
- Data
- Control; All are relevant and important here
Classifications of DCS
- Degree of Coupling
- How closely systems are connected
- May be the measured as ratio of messages interchanged to the local processing
- Could be Weak (over the network) or Strong (if components are shared)
- Interconnection structure
- Could be point to point or a common interconnection channel
- Interdependence of Components
- Synchronization
- Factors are not totally independent
- Suits some of the Organizational Structures; more reliable and responsive
- Nature of some applications
- Technological Push
DCS’s Alerts
- Information Islands and Lack of Standards
- Difficulties in Large Application Design
- Too Many Options Available

Infinity Blade III is available for only 0.99 €.Take advantage!
Although I have to admit I am not a big fan of games like Infinity Blade III, also I understand that you like so many users. In fact, Apple used the third installment of this saga to demonstrate Metal, the graphics engine of the Apple is with us since 2013. There must be some. As an important game that is usually priced at 5.99 €, but now is on offer and you just have to pay 0.99 €.
For those who do not know, the Infinity Blade series is a kind of fighting game and say a kind because it is far from classics like Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Combat or the Art of Fighting that I love me. Yes, Infinity Blade III has very superior to the games mentioned above graphics, or at least the versions that were launched in the 90s -'00.
The bad, and why I can be a big fan of this saga it is that the user action is rather low, which does not mean the game is easy. We have to control the protagonist touching and sliding the screen to this attack, block or dodge rival attacks, but the battle takes place in the same area, i.e., do not control the advance or retreat of our character, so that jump and we forget completely.
In addition, the Infinity Blade series also has an RPG component (one only), the possibility to improve our character as we gain money and experience, which will allow us to improve our weapons, our armor and our ability. With this in mind, it is best to be patient, go fighting with our enemies without worrying about losing and keep improving our character. Alternatively, well, it is best to first build the offer is cheaper now and then we get to eliminate enemies.

Application of the Rio 2016 games Now available
If you like sports, you know that this year the Olympic Games in Rio are held. The most likely already Have a favorite means to take cognizance of the latest news, but has already reached the App Store the official implementation of Rio 2016 , from where we can find out not only the breaking news but also when they will happen thanks to the schedules of all events to be held in the next Olympic Games.
What is perhaps the most interesting thing right now is the "Route & Torchbearers" section (route and torchbearers). As the name suggests, since this section we can see where the Olympic torch will and other information, such as photos or who is carrying the torch at a given time. Or, well, that's the theory, because at the time of this writing there are no available carrier information or images. I imagine that this information will appear when the carrier is a celebrity.
The other section which I think worth the Rio 2016 application is Spectator guide (guide the viewer), where we can see the schedule of competitions. If I have to be honest, I have very clear information showing, but I imagine the gray dots means there qualifying and medals tell us that it is the final phase. This section also has information Paralympics and cities where competition is held.
Although the application offers all the information you could want about the Olympic Games Rio 2016, has a bug that seems very serious, from my point of view, as important as the Olympic Games sporting event can not have an official application that only it is available in the language of the country where they are held and English. Well, in any case, we already have official application in the App Store.

Opera's new browser is blocking advertisements innately
Opera has a hard time on the browser market: Only 60 million people use the once unique browser on the desktop, only 120 million at least once a month on the phone. But from the niche, it innovated quite well - and for strong statements of Norwegian software developer has always been good. So now the new versions is there for Desktop and Mobile and blocks unwanted advertising innately. Up to 45 percent faster than a Chrome with third-blockers, says Opera. And sites would with ad blockers enabled load up to 89 percent faster. The Mobile-blockers would result in 40 percent faster page loading.
Of course, who does not necessarily installed one of the many bad Adblocker but a lightweight like Umatrix or ublock, will hardly notice such differences in speed. And ever has the Opera blockers practically no fine adjustment, not even importing your own rules. Blocks of well Tracker or you have yet again re-install Ghostery? Locks malware and what annoyances and Dark Patterns that were installed by the website operators themselves?
And then there is this an anomaly: Baidu, Yandex, Google, Facebook - these are the sites where the new Opera browser does not automatically block unwanted advertisements. Interesting choice, probably the compromise to be discriminated against in search results and news feeds.
On the other hand: Operas Ad Blocker is actually really usable for computer novice - much simpler than the major competitors.

Microsoft shows the Pre-Touch technology allows where we will touch the screen before you do
Apple revolutionized the phone presenting a capacitive touchscreen smartphone but now Microsoft tries to anticipate the times by presenting the technology pre-touch, can predict where it's put your finger on the screen, even before the contact.
The idea is interesting and if properly implemented, could prove very useful. The video that follows shows some examples integrated within specific applications. Playing a movie, for example, with the pre-touch technology could bring up the media controls and volume control only approaching the finger to the screen; in a web browser we can select and highlight titles, articles, videos and much more content on a page, you can also replace the "Next button" and "back" of the browser with a two-finger gesture, without ever touching the screen.
The technology could also have interesting implications regarding games, going to add a third dimension of movement. Think of a football game, besides being able to touch the ball to kick it, and you can also dribble by placing a finger close to the screen without touching it.
The pre-touch takes into account the grip of the phone, including if it is used with one hand for closer via a handle and cover a wider area of the display. Consequently, the operating system will behave in a suitable manner showing suitable controls with only one hand.
SkinTrack, the technology that turns the arm and skin into a touch controller for smartwatch [Video]
The smartwatch the displays are too small? They must have thought the same thing to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, who developed a technology able to 'transform' the arm and skin touch controller for wearable devices.
Researchers at the aforementioned universities have developed the technology SkinTrack, which allows you to use your arm and then the skin to control a smartwatch. The display of these devices are significantly reduced compared to those for smartphones and tablets, and could not be otherwise in view of their nature, and SkinTrack tries to overcome precisely this limit.
Think about the possibility of being able to play Angry Birds on your smartwatch dragging your finger on your arm to load the slingshot. This is one of the examples shown in the video that you find at the bottom of the article and which reveals the great potential of this technology. But how it really works?
SkinTrack makes use of a ring inserted in the finger of the opposite hand to that where is the smartwatch. Its task is to send when it comes in contact with the skin, a high-frequency signal passing through the arm and that is recognized by the smartwatch sensors, so as to calculate the distance between the wearable device and the ring.
TSMC is finalizing the design of the A11. It will be 10nm and will be ready in early 2017
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, better known as TSMC, has already started to give the finishing touches to the design of A11 chip, a processor that will be manufactured in a 10nm FinFET. According to DigiTimes, TSMC is now ready to print chips that use the iPhone 2017, although some rumors say that what they are prepared to do is start manufacturing processors some tests to be performed before starting mass production.
After finishing with the final design of the A11 processors, TSMC expects to achieve certification process 10nm manufacturing in the last quarter of 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, the Taiwanese company would begin to deliver samples to Apple and once Tim Cook and company give them the nod, they could already start mass production of what will be the processor of the iPhone 7s, iPhone 8 or whatever you have planned (do not forget that next year is the 10th anniversary of iPhone).
Rumors say that TSMC will take care of making all A10 processors including the iPhone 7. Still, expect only make two - thirds of the A11 processors that will arrive in 2017, a forecast that, in my opinion, has become being cautious.
The 10nm processor would have an efficiency 30-40% higher than the current A9, a device that is manufactured in a process of 14-16nm, depending on whether Samsung or TSMC manufactured. If we add the probable arrival of an AMOLED screen, the autonomy of the iPhone 2017 greatly enhanced, especially if we use black backgrounds on the screen. An AMOLED display only consumes power in pixels on. In addition, since 2017 the year of the tenth anniversary of the iPhone, we can still expect some news that could further improve autonomy. The trouble is that, as always, we will have to wait to find out.
The big Silicon Valley companies are looking for large areas where the next developer autonomous vehicles
Apple, Google, and other manufacturers are looking for large areas through real estate in the area of San Francisco, to develop their autonomous vehicles. It is well known that Google has been working on this type of vehicle several years, and in fact has already secured permits to circulate in the San Francisco area without fear that police stop and seizes the vehicle. But he's not the only one. Apple also takes little more than a year, according to rumors, interested in bringing to market a vehicle, which know very little, but it seems that also would be a vehicle without a driver.
But not only Apple and Google are focusing on this type of vehicle, but also Toyota, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and Ford are also among the companies seeking to develop extensive grounds where their autonomous vehicles. According to the publication, Google is looking for a superfice close to 800,000 square feet like Apple. Both companies want to expand their research departments and developed for these activities to test and experiment with different models that will be manufactured.
For example. Tesla, where facilities are currently manufacturing the current models, have an area of 5.3 million square feet and are located in Fremont, California, but is a factory, not a research facility. Hence, the difference between the space searched Google and Apple with a factory to build vehicles in series. As we reported a few weeks ago, Apple is renting different ships to be developing the various components that form part of the Apple Car, ships that are receiving different names related to Greek mythology.
So far, little we know of as the Titan project progresses, in which Apple is working to bring to market the first vehicle of the company, except that the new project manager is the former vice president of engineering of Tesla, who joined makes weeks.
