| Course: | Computer Science 2525 Research Topics in Data Management |
| Term: | Winter 2008 |
| Professor: | Renée J. Miller |
| Description: | This annual seminar
covers "hot research topics in data management". This term, our
focus will be on managing uncertain, inconsistent, and
incomplete data. The course will be based on recent research
results including work from prominent research groups (the
Stanford Trio project, Washington's MysticQ, Cornell's MayBMS,
and Cimple from Yahoo/Wisconsin to name a few) and other
interesting trend setters in this area.
The course will focus on recent systems. We will cover some foundational work (for example on possible worlds and incomplete data) to understand the semantics of these systems. However, our main objective will be to understand how uncertain and inconsistent data can be used and managed in practice. |
