Schema Mediation and Query Processing in Peer

P2P Data Management Systems (PDMSs) allow the efficient sharing of data between peers with overlapping sources of information. These sources share data through semantic mappings between peers. In current systems, queries are asked over each peer’s local schema and then translated using the semantic mappings between peers. In this thesis we propose that a mediated schema can benefit PDMSs by all...

Schema Mediation in Peer Data Management Systems

Intuitively, data management and data integration tools should be well-suited for exchanging information in a semantically meaningful way. Unfortunately, they suffer from two significant problems: they typically require a comprehensive schema design before they can be used to store or share information, and they are difficult to extend because schema evolution is heavyweight and may break backw...

Thematic Schema Building for Mediation-based Peer-to-Peer Architecture

Recently, mediation tools and peer-to-peer systems have allowed an important evolution for data sharing. Mediators are now mature techniques to share structured and heterogeneous data distributed through a reasonable number of nodes. Peer-to-peer architectures open new ways to build very large and dynamic networks allowing to share unstructured data as files indexed by some keywords. We propose...

Peer Mediation to Increase Communication and Interaction at Recess for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Recess plays an integral role in the social and emotional development of children given the time provided to engage in interactions with others and practice important social skills. Students with ASD, however, typically fail to achieve even minimal benefit from recess due to social and communication impairments as well as a tendency to withdraw. Implementation of evidence-based interventions su...
