CPS 216 Advanced Database Systems Class Project Shivnath

CPS 216: Advanced Database Systems Class Project Shivnath Babu

Course Logistics • Grading: – Homework Assignments 15% – Project 25% – Midterm 25% – Final 35%

Expectation from Project • Show me that you can apply what you have learned in class to a “new” problem in data management • It is not sufficient to show that you have mastered the concepts taught in class – Ex: Implementation of a B-Tree is insufficient! • An implementation will be required as proof-ofconcept unless you can convince me otherwise

Way to Proceed • If you already know the problem you want to work on for the project, let Shivnath know • Otherwise: – Pick a topic – Think about problems within that topic (Shivnath can give you suggestions) – Discuss with Shivnath to narrow down to a specific problem within that topic

Possible Topics • “What is happening today in data management” – Data streams – Web search: Google, Yahoo! – Data mining (SQLServer) – Sensor data management – XML (+ relational) – Data integration

Using a Traditional DBMS User/Application Query … Loader Result … Table R Table S

New Approach for Data Streams User/Application Register Continuous Query (Standing Query) Input streams Result Stream Query Processor

Project Requirements • Proposal DUE ON OCTOBER 17 (TUESDAY) – Shivnath will give you feedback • Literature survey • Mid-project meeting(s) with Shivnath – Based on progress • Algorithms, implementation, … • Final report (DUE AROUND NOVEMBER 29) • Final demo (AROUND DECEMBER 1) • END TERM LIKELY DATE: DECEMBER 5
