Spatial Clustering of Galaxies in Large Datasets
Alexander S. Szalay, Tamas Budavari, Andrew Connolly +4
Datasets with tens of millions of galaxies present new challenges for the analysis of spatial clustering. We have built a framework that integrates a database of object catalogs, t…
Web Services for the Virtual Observatory
Alexander S. Szalay, Tamas Budavari, Tanu Malika +2
Web Services form a new, emerging paradigm to handle distributed access to resources over the Internet. There are platform independent standards (SOAP, WSDL), which make the develo…
Petabyte Scale Data Mining: Dream or Reality?
Alexander S. Szalay, Jim Gray, Jan vandenBerg
Science is becoming very data intensive1. Today's astronomy datasets with tens of millions of galaxies already present substantial challenges for data mining. In less than 10 years…
Online Scientific Data Curation, Publication, and Archiving
Jim Gray, Alexander S. Szalay, Ani R. Thakar +2
Science projects are data publishers. The scale and complexity of current and future science data changes the nature of the publication process. Publication is becoming a major pro…
TeraScale SneakerNet: Using Inexpensive Disks for Backup, Archiving, and Data Exchange
Jim Gray, Wyman Chong, Tom Barclay +2
Large datasets are most economically trnsmitted via parcel post given the current economics of wide-area networking. This article describes how the Sloan Digital Sky Survey ships t…
Data Mining the SDSS SkyServer Database
Jim Gray, Alex S. Szalay, Ani R. Thakar +4
An earlier paper (Szalay et. al. "Designing and Mining MultiTerabyte Astronomy Archives: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey," ACM SIGMOD 2000) described the Sloan Digital Sky Survey's (S…
