Professor: Michael Franklin, franklin@cs
Office Hours: Tu 2-3, F 10-11, 687 Soda or by appointmentCS 286 is a graduate-level database course that covers the fundamentals of modern and emerging database and data-intensive systems architectures. The general approach is to focus on one aspect of the architecture at a time, and for each one, first catch up with the current state-of-the-practice, and then investigate emerging trends and future opportunities. Students are assumed to have already completed CS 262A - Advanced Topics in Computer Systems, which covers much of the foundational material from Systems and Database Systems. The bulk of the course is a set of readings along with a self-directed research project. The topics to be covered are (order subject to change): 1. DBMS Architecture Overview 2. Storage Hierarchies and Storage Management 3. Concurrency Control, Consistency, and Replication 4. Relational Query Processing (centralized, distributed, and parallel) 5. Non-Relational Data Models and Processing 6. Stream, Temporal, and Continuous Processing 7. Dataspaces and Data Integration
