Abstract

Scientific applications produce a huge amount of data, which imposes serious management and analysis challenges. In particular, limitations in current database management systems prevent their adoption in simulation applications, in which in-situ analysis libraries, in-transit I/O interfaces and scientific format files are preferred over DBMSs. In order to make simulation applications benefit from DBMS support, the author proposes the development of a system called SAVIME in the context of his PhD thesis. SAVIME is an array database system designed to manage numerical simulation data. In this document, the author presents all work conducted so far and the current state of development.
