Gong Show2 Things to Work On
Stan Zdonik
#1: Interactive Viz
• Visualization is good.– Witness products like Visionary (2D).
• 3D is better.– The cave– VR-based data warehouse
• Interaction is the future.– e.g., dynamically switch views
– stretch dimensions– aggregate differently
The Problem
• Multiple SP2’s rendering what you see.– Terrabytes on disk backing the scene.
• Fetch data in response to gestures with almost no delay.
• Approach: intelligent data staging– Needs a model of the user
• Other examples:– War game simulations– Distributed gaming (e.g., Quake)– Telepresence
#2 Distributed Databases
• SDD-1 (& ?) had the model right.– Distribution and replication are transparent.
• Back then, the network was very slow.• Today, bandwidth is plentiful.
– Moving data is not a big issue– Synching is cheap.
…but more than just relations
• Today I have:docs on my laptopsdocs on my desktopsdocs on the department’s file severdocs on my PDA
• I want ALL my information to appear in one big unified space (no visible copies)
• It’s time to try again!!
tons of copies
