Title
Toward a Query Language on Simulation Mesh Data: An Object-oriented Approach
Abstract
As simulation is gaining popularity as inexpensive means of experimentation in diverse fields of industry and govern- ment, the attention to the data generated by scientific sim- ulation is also increasing. Scientific simulation generates mesh data, i.e., data configured in a grid structure, in a se- quence of time steps. Its model is complex - understanding it involves mathematical topology and geometry in addition to fields (in the relational sense). Moreover, there is no query language developed on mesh data at all. These are what we address in this paper. We develop a comprehensive model of mesh data in an object-oriented manner, propose a set of primitive algebraic operators, show their object-oriented implementation, and demonstrate that the well-known ob- ject query language ODMG OQL is powerful enough to ex- press queries on mesh data, whether the queries are on mesh topology, geometry, fields, or combination of them. Finally, we discuss some physical implementation issues pertinent to executing queries efficiently.
