Abstract

A large volume of remote sensing (RS) data has been generated with the deployment of satellite technologies. The data facilitates research in ecological monitoring, land management and desertification, etc. The characteristics of RS data (e.g., enormous volume, large single-file size and demanding requirement of fault tolerance) make the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) an ideal choice for RS data storage as it is efficient, scalable and equipped with a data replication mechanism for failure resilience. To use RS data, one of the most important techniques is geospatial indexing. However, the large data volume makes it time-consuming to efficiently construct and leverage. Considering that most modern geospatial data centres are equipped with HDFS-based big data processing infrastructures, deploying multiple geospatial indices becomes natural to optimise the efficacy. Moreover, because of the reliability introduced by high-quality hardware and the infrequently modified property of the RS data, the use of multi-indexing will not cause large overhead. Therefore, we design a framework called Multi-IndeXing-RS (MIX-RS) that unifies the multi-indexing mechanism on top of the HDFS with data replication enabled for both fault tolerance and geospatial indexing efficiency. Given the fault tolerance provided by the HDFS, RS data is structurally stored inside for faster geospatial indexing. Additionally, multi-indexing enhances efficiency. The proposed technique naturally sits on top of the HDFS to form a holistic framework without incurring severe overhead or sophisticated system implementation efforts. The MIX-RS framework is implemented and evaluated using real remote sensing data provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, demonstrating excellent geospatial indexing performance.

Towards Effective Orchestration of AI x DB Workloads

AI-driven analytics are increasingly crucial to data-centric decision-making. Executing relational and AI operators in separate runtimes prevents the database optimizer and runtime from coordinating operator ordering, model placement, batching, and state reuse. Integrating AI operators into database engines enables such coordination but raises challenges in jointly optimizing query processing and model execution, scheduling under resource contention, and reusing relational intermediates and AI artifacts. This paper formalizes AIxDB workloads as iterative, concurrent, and shareable executions that interleave relational and AI operators. We then advocate database-native orchestration as a paradigm for redesigning database engines for these workloads and distill two design principles: holistic AIxDB co-optimization and unified AIxDB cache management. We present NeurEngine as a proof-of-concept prototype and report preliminary results illustrating the performance benefits of database-native orchestration

A Functional Pilot for Certified Freshness-Aware Semantic--Spatial Range Retrieval

Geographic applications need every object inside a radius that satisfies a semantic threshold, yet embedding indexes return approximate top-ranked lists and may omit qualifying records silently. We present FRESH-GEORANGE, a semantic- spatial range design that separates source-watermark freshness from optional record age. Geographic cells and semantic mi- croblocks provide admissible pruning bounds; a graph proposes verification order but supplies no correctness evidence. Exact mode scans every nonprunable block and the delta overlay. Certified mode may stop early and reports a deterministic query- specific recall lower bound from verified answers and unresolved records. A reproducible CPU pilot uses 2,500 real OpenFlights airport records, a 2,000-record base, and 740 simulated insert, delete, and text-revision events; it evaluates 180 unique queries over five seeds. Exact mode achieved 100.00% set recall on every query. The 95-percent mode achieved 99.91% empirical mean recall with a 99.41% reported mean certificate and no observed bound violation. However, its 7.24 ms median latency was 5.85 times the 1.24 ms spatial-first exact baseline, and full-history delta replay became slower than rebuilding at larger batches. The prototype therefore validates the completeness mechanism, not performance superiority or production freshness. Submission- scale evaluation requires real map diffs, official recent baselines, and truly incremental versioned maintenance.

AkasicMEM: Governed Enterprise Memory for Agents

Agent memory enables enterprise agents to retain knowledge acquired during work and reuse it across tasks and agents, turning execution experience into persistent organizational knowledge. Realizing this potential requires both source--memory integration, through which enterprise sources and accumulated memory can be utilized together, and memory governance, through which shared memory remains subject to organizational policies throughout its lifecycle. These requirements interact when information from enterprise sources persists in memory. As this information is repeatedly derived and reused under changing principals and policies, source restrictions may be bypassed, resulting in information leakage. Preventing such leakage requires authorization continuity, under which source restrictions remain effective throughout source-to-memory and memory-to-memory derivation and reuse. Existing approaches address these concerns individually, but do not treat source--memory integration, memory governance, and authorization continuity as combined core design targets across the memory lifecycle. We define Governed Enterprise Memory as agent memory designed around this combined scope and present AkasicMEM as its realization. AkasicMEM realizes authorization continuity through transitive lineage, policy composition during memory formation, and policy re-evaluation during retrieval. It is built on GraphAI's AkasicDB, a unified vector--graph--relational database whose storage and execution substrate enables the underlying operations of these mechanisms to be jointly optimized and executed.
