Josep Lluis Larriba-Pey – Graph databases go mobile, Sparksee 5 mobile use cases The use of graph databases is becoming more and more popular. Sparksee is a clear example of a High Performance graph database that allows for high compression and small software footprint, allowing for very compact and efficient solutions in the business world. Sparsity Technologies has recently released Sparksee 5 mobile for iOS, Android and BB10, allowing for high performance mobile applications to be boosted with high performance analytics. Sparksee is a research based software with a considerable number of papers published on it, showing the importance of research in high end technologies.In this talk, we will present Sparksee 5 mobile and explain a few use cases in the area of analytics for Social and Open Data where the use of graphs boosts job search, private recommendation, community search and personal tourist route planning.

4. Large vs Small scale graph analytics º Sparksee Graph Database
Large vs small scale graph analytics
Large
• Obtained from the community use of resources
• Provide a global view of users for companies
• Require the use of large servers
• Can be used for BI or Analytics
Small
• Obtained from the local use of resources
• Smaller scale view of “my” world
• Can be managed in smaller scale devices
• Can be used for my own needs

1. Sparksee 5.1
IS a high-performance and out-of-core graph database management
system
FOR large scale labeled and attributed multigraphs
Labeled: Nodes and edges belong to types
Attributed: Nodes and edges may have attributes
Multigraph: Several edges between nodes
BASED ON vertical partitioning and collections of objects identifiers
stored as bitmaps

7. 1. Sparksee 5.1 º Sparksee Graph Database
Sparksee Characteristics
Graph split into small structures
Move to main memory just significant parts (caching)
Object identifiers (oids) instead of complex objects
Reduce memory requirements
Specific structures to improve traversals
Index the edges and the neighbors of each node
Attribute indices
Improve queries based on value filters

Sparksee Architecture
— Database core (C++)
— Low level C++ layer: It allows a direct
interaction with applications coded in
C++
— Interface layer (SWIG*): Wrapper
generator for those APIs that are not
C++.
— APIs for Python, Java and .Net on top
of our C++ API
— Mobile APIs for iOS, Android and
BB10.

10. 2. Sparksee 5.1 Mobile º Sparksee Graph Database
Characteristics
• Small code footprint (less than 75Kbytes).
• ACID properties, fully transactional.
• Provides APIs for most platforms, i.e. Android, iOS and BB.
• Fast execution of complex queries (low battery cost).
Advantages
• Sparksee empowers your application at a minimal memory cost.
• Connection may be interrupted amid a transaction and you may roll it back.
• You may have your device disconnected and still be able to analyze data.
• Analytics power in your mobile device.
• For App vendors, someone else spends resources and I get the result of the analysis
• Community search: fastest and best quality (WWW’14, TETRACOM)
Roadmap
• Provide sync with your server database through Sparksee.
• Provide a set of APIs that solve most of your problems: Integration, Social Analytical API,
BI API, etc.

13. 3. Use cases formobile devices/Added value with my own dataº Sparksee Graph Database
My Social Network analytics
• Messaging:
• Sending the message to the adequate people…
• What are the SNs that will secure a better coverage?
• Who can be more interested and has a better impact in the SNs?
• Who is knowledgeable about the topic, so that I can ask for opinion?
• Recommendation
• Collaborative filtering with my own data, let the graph know aboutme and
my friends!
• How can I group my acquaintances to go out tonight? For instance:
• People who like the same type of music and get on well among them…
• People who usually go to close by places…
• People who always get involved in heated discussions…

16. 3. Use cases formobile devices/Reliability-availability of commºunications Sparksee Graph Database
Medical environment
• Specific illnesses require constant monitoring
• Detecting the gradient of the movement
• Predicting dangerous patterns
• For example:
• I am diabetic1 and I am hiking in the mountains
• No data connection, maps in device with height water-marks
• My application detects a pattern, predicts danger and warns me:
• Dangerous walking gradient predicted though map
• Before heartbeat increase starts, the system warns me and
gives me advice
165% of diabetics die of heart disease and stroke
