Abstract
The course explores fundamental aspects in the design of distributed and parallel application with an emphasis on data management. This includes architectual design issues as well as the algorithms and techniques used for query processing, transaction management, disaster recovery, data replication, data integration, data management in peer-to-peer systems as well as data stream management.
Content
The course will explore fundamental aspects in the design of distributed and parallel applications with a special emphasis on data management. These aspects will be discussed from both a research perspective and a practical point of view. In particular, the architectual design issues as well as the algorithms and techniques used for query processing, transaction management, disaster recovery, data replication and data integration will be studied in detail. In addition to the topics handled in earlier years, we will also have a look at searching the web, data management in peer-to-peer systems as well as data stream management.
