Efficient complex data management in the cloud

In a cloud environment, data catalogs and indices need to be efficiently built and maintained, typically in parallel; queries need to be routed to only those data subsets which are likely to lead to results, and efficiently executed, using parallelism and the available indexes. We work on such topics within the Europa ICT Labs activity. Algorithms for efficiently handling indexes and views in the cloud for heterogeneous, complex-structure data are also at the core of our work proposal in the Datalyse project (see below). Our 2012 work in this context has lead to [10] , [12] , [13] .
