PREFACE
The proliferation of massive data sets brings with it a series of special
computational challenges. This "data avalanche" arises in a wide range
of scientific and commercial applications. With advances in computer
and information technologies, many of these challenges are beginning to
be addressed by diverse inter-disciplinary groups, that include computer
scientists, mathematicians, statisticians and engineers, working in close
cooperation with application domain experts. High profile applications
include astrophysics, bio-technology, demographics, finance, geographical
information systems, government, medicine, telecommunications, the
environment and the internet.
John R. Tucker of the Board on Mathematical Sciences has stated:
"My interest in this problem (Massive Data Sets) is that I see it
as the most important cross-cutting problem for the mathematical
sciences in practical problem solving for the next decade, because
it is so pervasive.''
The Handbook of Massive Data Sets is comprised of articles written by
experts on selected topics that deal with some major aspect of massive
data sets. It contains chapters on information retrieval both in the
internet and in the traditional sense, web crawlers, massive graphs,
string processing, data compression, clustering methods, wavelets,
optimization, external memory algorithms and data structures, the US
national cluster project, high performance computing, data warehouses,
data cubes, semi-structured data, data squashing, data quality, billing
in the large, fraud detection, and data processing in astrophysics,
air pollution, biomolecular data, earth observation and the environment.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank the authors of the
chapters, the anonymous referees, AT&T Labs Research, and the Center
for Applied Optimization, University of Florida for supporting this
effort. The first editor wants to express his appreciation to Dave
Belanger for his continued support. Special thanks and appreciation go
to Dr. Hong-Xuan Huang for assisting us with LaTeX and other issues in
the preparation of the camera-ready copy of this handbook. Finally, we
would like to thank the Kluwer Academic Publishers for their assistance.
