Distributed Database Systems HS2014
| Lecturer: | Michael Böhlen |
| Teaching language: | German or English (English lecture notes, exercises, exam, and text book) |
| Term: | Fall 2014 |
Objectives: The course discusses concepts and techniques for the management of distributed data using distributed database management systems. We consider architecture, database design, query processing, and transaction management for distributed databases.
Teaching format: The course consists of lectures and a course project.
Textbook: The course is based on the book Principles of Distributed Database Systems from Tamer Öszu and Patrick Valduriez, Springer, 3rd edition, 2010. The lecture notes for this course will become available as we progress through the semester.
Course project: In the course project you will implement and evaluate a solution described in one of the papers listed below. The outcome of the course project is a 5 page report that describes problem, solution, algorithm, implementation, and evaluation. The milestones for the course project are: October 9 or 10 (plan for implementation with example), November 5 (demonstration of implementation), and December 19 (hand in of report). Please send an email with names and emails of group members and prefered topic to boehlen@ifi.uzh.ch by Monday October 1, 14:00.
