Tutorial: An In-Depth Look at Modern Database Systems by Dr. C Mohan
October 24, 2013 6PM in Engineering Building Auditorium (E189)
Abstract:
This tutorial is targeted at a broad set of database systems and applications people. It is intended to let the attendees better appreciate what is really behind the covers of many of the modern database systems (e.g., NoSQL and NewSQL systems), going beyond the hype associated with these open source, commercial and research systems. The capabilities and limitations of such systems will be addressed. Modern extensions to decades old relational DBMSs will also be described. Some application case studies will also be presented.
This is a revised version of a 90 minutes tutorial presented at the 39th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB) in Riva del Garda, Italy in August 2013.
