Semantic computability: A mechanism for the description of test data sets for scaleable information systems (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bates, C., Jelly, I., Forgacs, I., Szabo, E., & Kerridge, J. (1996, April). Semantic computability: A mechanism for the description of test data sets for scaleable information systems. Presented at International Conference and Exhibition HPCN EUROPE 1996, Brussels, Belgium

This paper describes a mechanism, semantic computability, through which data can be described in such a way as to enable the automated creation of structured, scaleable data sets for performance evaluation. The approach is demonstrated with reference... Read More about Semantic computability: A mechanism for the description of test data sets for scaleable information systems.

The design of the IRISS parallel database machine (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walter, D., & Kerridge, J. (1996, April). The design of the IRISS parallel database machine. Presented at High-Performance Computing and Networking: International Conference and Exhibition HPCN EUROPE 1996, Brussels, Belgium

The decision support potential of large commercial relational databases is limited by the vast amounts of computing power required to perform complex queries on large datasets. Massively parallel processing offers the potential to open up new possibi... Read More about The design of the IRISS parallel database machine.

A framework for information visualisation (1996)
Journal Article
Kennedy, J., Mitchell, K., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). A framework for information visualisation. SIGMOD record, 25, 30-34

In this paper we examine the issues involved in developing information visualisation systems and present a framework for their construction. The framework addresses the components which must be considered in providing effective visualisations. The fr... Read More about A framework for information visualisation.

Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines (1996)
Journal Article
Bates, C., Jelly, I., & Kerridge, J. (1996). Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines. Distributed and Parallel Databases, 4(1), 5-23. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00122146

Parallel servers offer improved processing power for relational database systems and provide system scalability. In order to support the users of these systems, new ways of assessing the performance of such machines are required. If these assessments...
