The Dirty Dozen

While it’s not necessary to be dirty, this film tells us one clear thing: you’re stronger with a small team of specialists rather than with a big group of clones.

imGraph: A distributed in-memory graph database

In this blog post we briefly describe our new contribution to the big data domain, especially, graph storage and querying. This work was accepted for publication at 2013 ASE/IEEE International

An empirical comparison of graph databases

In recent years, more and more companies provide services that can not be anymore achieved efficiently using relational databases. As such, these companies are forced to use alternative database models

Brussels Cassandra Users

Towards a standards-based cloud service manager

Migrating services to the cloud brings all the benefits of elasticity, scalability and cost-cutting. However, migrating services among different cloud infrastructures or outside of the cloud is not an obvious

The captivating AROM of distributed processing

Last month we have had the opportunity to present AROM at the 4th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing Technology and Science (CLOUDCOM) in Taipei, the beautiful capital of Taiwan. For the

Arom: processing big data with data flow graphs and functional programming

The development in computational processing has driven towards distributed processing frameworks performing tasks in parallel setups. The recent advances in Cloud Computing have widely contributed to this tendency. The MapReduce

Data flow graph & stream processing closer than ever

This year we started a research project, named AROM, in collaboration with the Université Libre de Bruxelles. We wanted to evaluate a Data Flow Graph (DFG) processing framework and compare it
