ABSTRACT
Business applications are usually data-intensive. The process of designing and implementing such applications benefits from working with realistic data to sharpen requirements and discover pitfalls. However, such data is usually quite extensive and the feedback cycles during programming and design activities can become long and distracting. As a result, programmers might prefer abstract thinking and mental simulations over working with concrete, realistic data. We propose a new approach supporting live programming, with immediate feedback and explorable runtime data, for the domain of data-intensive business applications on top of relational databases. With the integration of streamed access to sampled data, we can employ productive traits of a live programming environment such as Squeak/Smalltalk, which is not optimized for the processing of huge amounts of data and is hence not well-suited for such tasks. We describe two representative scenarios and also discuss limitations by putting our approach in relation to the current development of business applications.

AbstractTask stragglers in MapReduce jobs dramatically impede job execution of data-intensive computing in cloud data centers. This impedance is due to the uneven distribution of input data, heterogeneous data nodes, resource contention situations, and ...
An approach to multiparadigm programming database systems
DEXA '96: Proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems ApplicationsOne way to tackle the impedance mismatch problem is to build multiparadigm programming database systems.

Data Streams with Bounded Deletions
PODS '18: Proceedings of the 37th ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGAI Symposium on Principles of Database SystemsTwo prevalent models in the data stream literature are the insertion-only and turnstile models. Unfortunately, many important streaming problems require a Θ(log(n)) multiplicative factor more space for turnstile streams than for insertion-only streams. ...
