Summary:
Increase your scientific productivity—harness the data
tsunamiState-of-the-Art Technologies That Meet the Challenges of
Large-Scale, Complex, and Diverse Scientific Data Dealing with the
volume, complexity, and diversity of data currently being generated
by scientific experiments and simulations often causes scientists to
waste productive time. Scientific Data Management: Challenges,
Technology, and Deployment describes cutting-edge technologies and
solutions for managing and analyzing vast amounts of data, helping
scientists focus on their scientific goals.The book begins with
coverage of efficient storage systems, discussing how to write and
read large volumes of data without slowing the simulation, analysis,
or visualization processes. It then focuses on the efficient data
movement and management of storage spaces and explores emerging
database systems for scientific data. The book also addresses how to
best organize data for analysis purposes, how to effectively conduct
searches over large datasets, how to successfully automate multistep
scientific process workflows, and how to automatically collect
metadata and lineage information. This book provides a comprehensive
understanding of the latest techniques for managing data during
scientific exploration processes, from data generation to data
analysis. Enhanced by numerous detailed color images, it includes
real-world examples of applications drawn from biology, ecology,
geology, climatology, and more.
