Analyzing and Securing Social Networks

Analyzing and Securing Social Networks

Analyzing and Securing Social Networks focuses on the two major technologies that have been developed for online social networks (OSNs): (i) data mining technologies for analyzing these networks and extracting useful information such as location demographics and sentiments of the participants of the network and (ii) security and privacy technologies that ensure the privacy of the participants of the network as well as provide controlled access to the information posted and exchanged by the participants. The authors explore security and privacy issues for social media systems analyze such systems and discuss prototypes they have developed for social media systems whose data are represented using semantic web technologies. These experimental systems have been developed at The University of Texas at Dallas.

Database Modeling Step by Step

Database Modeling Step by Step

With the aim of simplifying relational database modeling Database Modeling Step-by-Step presents the standard approach to database normalization and then adds its own approach which is a more simplistic intuitive way to building relational database models. Going from basics to contemporary topics the book opens with relational data modeling and ends with BigData database modeling following a road map of the evolution in relational modeling and including brief introductions to data warehousing and BigData modeling. A break-down of the elements of a model explains what makes up a relational data model. This is followed by a comparison between standard normalization and a more simplistic intuitive approach to data modeling that a beginner can follow and understand. A brief chapter explains how to use the database programming language SQL (Structured Query Language) which reads from and writes to a relational database. SQL is fundamental to data modeling because it helps in understanding how the model is used. In addition to the relational model the last three chapters cover important modern world topics including denormalization that leads into data warehouses and BigData database modeling. The book explains how there is not much to logical data modeling in BigData databases because as they are often schema-less which means that BigData databases do not have schemas embedded into the database itself they have no metadata and thus not much of a logical data model. Online bonus chapters include a case study that covers relational data modeling and are available at the author’s web site: www. oracletroubleshooter. com/datamodeling. html | Database Modeling Step by Step
