About this title

Synopsis

GMIS: An Experimental System for Data Management and Analysis offers a flexible, multi-user approach to turning changing data into usable insights.

This work presents the architecture and rationale of GMIS, a system built to support rapid construction and easy modification of management information facilities. It focuses on handling evolving data, diverse analysis tools, and secure, interactive access for multiple users.

GMIS combines a VM-based software architecture with a hierarchical model and a relational view of data. It aims to let analysts, policymakers, and researchers store, validate, and retrieve data while applying statistical and modeling tools to real problems. The book also describes how the system handles energy data, demonstrates a sample application, and discusses design choices that support adaptability, reliability, and efficiency.

Learn how GMIS enables online and batch data management, large data storage, and easy data modification.
See how several modeling and analytical facilities can access the same data base and how data protection can be adjusted.
Understand the role of virtual machines in multi-user coordination and cross-tool compatibility.
Discover the practical approach to building information systems quickly and adapting to changing requirements.

Ideal for readers of information-system design, energy data analysis, and policy research who want a hands-on example of flexible data management tools.
