The proposed equipment support the research program "Querying and Managing Heterogeneous and Evolving Distributed Data Sources".  The research program studies robust integration of heterogeneous and evolving databases and data streams.  Our emphasis is on resilient applications which can adapt to changes in remote data sources without manual intervention.  The research program also studies autonomous storage and exchange of heterogeneous data and data streams.  The objective is to achieve tuning of data storage and data exchange based on query workload, storage capabilities and structural analysis of the data set or data streams.   We propose to build a flexible testbed environment which hosts a rich set of data sets and data streams distributedly.  A main testbed server, that has sufficient computing and storage resource, will simulate a distributed database system consisting of data sets ranging from relational data warehouse to extensible markup language (XML)  repositories to web services and web applications.  A sensor edge server with lesser resource will manage streamed data from external wireless sensor networks and radio frequency identification (RFID) devices.  A key feature of our testbed is the sensor and RFID technology component.  We propose to include wireless sensors, active and passive RFID technology as part of the testbed so we are able to experiment with realistic data streams generated by sensor base stations and RFID readers.

本文提出的设备支持研究项目“异构和不断发展的分布式数据源的查询和管理”。该研究计划研究异构和不断发展的数据库和数据流的鲁棒集成。我们的重点是弹性应用程序，可以适应远程数据源的变化，而无需人工干预。该研究计划还研究异构数据和数据流的自主存储和交换。目标是根据查询工作量、存储能力和数据集或数据流的结构分析来实现数据存储和数据交换的调优。 本文提出了一种灵活的分布式测试床环境，它可以分布式地承载大量的数据集和数据流，将模拟一个分布式数据库系统，该系统由从关系数据仓库到可扩展标记语言（XML）的数据集组成资源较少的传感器边缘服务器将管理来自外部无线传感器网络和射频识别（RFID）的流数据设备。我们的测试平台的一个关键特征是传感器和RFID技术组件。我们建议将无线传感器、有源和无源RFID技术作为测试平台的一部分，以便我们能够对传感器基站和RFID读取器产生的真实数据流进行实验。
