Data mining is the automatic discovery of patterns, associations, and anomalies in data sets. Data mining requires numerically and statistically intensive queries. Our assumption is that data mining requires a specialized data management infrastructure to support the aforementioned intensive queries, but because of the sizes of the data involved, this infrastructure is layered over a hierarchic...

CERN uses the world’s largest scientific computing grid, WLCG, for distributed data storage and processing. Monitoring of CPU resources is an important essential element to detect operational issues in its systems, example elements, ensure their proper efficient function. The processing experiment depends strongly on access quality, as well integrity both these key parameters must be assured li...

Packed bed units generally, represent the most suitable storage units for air heating solar systems. In these systems the storage unit receives the heat from the collector during the collection period and discharges the heat to the building at the retrieval process. A method for sizing of packedbed storage in an air heating system is represented. The design is based on the K-S curves, which hav...

In this paper we present StarFish, a highly-available geographically-dispersed block storage system built from commodity servers running FreeBSD, which are connected by standard high-speed IP networking gear. StarFish achieves high availability by transparently replicating data over multiple storage sites. StarFish is accessed via a host-site appliance that masquerades as a host-attached storag...

introduction: the manual and paper-based process of production and storage of medical records in iran have led to difficulties in filing and retrieval of the medical records. one of the usual solutions is using computerized medical records via electronic storage of paper-based medical records. the aim of this study was to recognize using computerized medical records in nine selected hospitals. ...
