Database Management System

Course Description

This course covers database management system design principles and techniques. Possible topics include internal design of DBMS, indexing, query processing, distributed scientific databases, computational geometry, geographic information systems, and data intensive computing. We will select and read some of milestone papers in DBMS history as well as the state-of-the-art DB papers.
