Presentation:
Query-driven analytics in graph databases
Graphs are becoming pervasive in several unconventional applications where connectivity needs to be leveraged for querying and analytical purposes. Such applications areas include the Semantic Web, Social Networks, Fraud Detection applications, Recommendation Systems and Knowledge Bases. At the heart of these applications lays the property graph data model as the common ground defining the foundations of current graph database systems. In this talk, I will provide a systematic view on query-driven analytics in graph databases. I will elucidate the needed requirements and open challenges for this emerging field.
