Abstract

Computer Science is a relatively young discipline, but in the last two decades the advances in hardware technology and software engineering has induced notable changes in the way users interact with computers. In particular, several processes involving data have changed in a radical manner. As a matter of fact, the amount of data stored in repositories has grown at impressive rates due to the rise of data sources, such as sensor networks, social networks or operational processes. Moreover, the heterogeneity of data has dramatically increased. In a word, data and their management have became more and more complex.
