| Summary: | Working with scientific data involves analyzing large amounts of data. For High Energy Physics research, one is interested in analyzing series of different events that occur when particles collide and filter those that fulfill predefined conditions. With the proposed approach the conditions are expressed using numerical formulas expressed as SQL queries in a relational database (RDBMS). Different kinds of database representations were designed, studied, and compared in order to get the most efficient and scalable way to store and access the data for the application. |
