Welcome to Advanced Database Systems

Welcome to the M.Sc. course Advanced Database Systems. In this course you will learn what it takes to be a Database Administrator, analysing and improving the performance of databases. You will also learn in detail how transactions are handled by database management systems. The course has a little bit of everything: ordinary lectures, a little practicum, and a small project about handling sensor data. We hope to see you Thursday September 3rd, at 10.45h. in CR-3D.

Mena Badieh Habib Morgan, Maurice van Keulen, and Djoerd Hiemstra.

GIS Presentations and Demonstrations

The best project results of the course Advanced Database Systems will be presented on Friday 7 November 2008, 13.45h. – 15.30h. in room HO-B1220. In the projects, students built or analyzed applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). We will have the following presentations:

  1. Study of the Design of a GIS application by Haihan Yin, Rabah Khilfeh, and Ravi Khadka
  2. Betonning & Peiling by Menno Tammens and Steven ten Brinke
  3. ReBata: Replaying the Batavierenrace by Michiel Hakvoort, Gido Hakvoort, and Ronald Peterson

Guest lecture by Maurice van Keulen and project deadline

Maurice van Keulen will give the final lecture on On-Line Analytical Processing & Data Warehouses on Wednesday 22 October, 1/2h. in HO-B1228. Maurice is one of the Database Group members, and teaches the follow-up course Data warehousing & data mining (232020).

Two days later, on Friday 24 October, is the dead line for sending in the report (subproject A) or the software install package (subproject B). The report or software should be accompanied by a prepared presentations (including e.g. a Powerpoint slide show) of about half an hour. At the written exam on 5 November, I will announce the lucky winners that will be asked to give the presentation to all of us on Friday 7 November 5/6h.

Welcome to Advanced Database Systems

Welcome to ADS! This course will have a little bit of everything: traditional lectures, home work assignments (on a voluntary basis), a small (half a day) practicum assignment, a small project, and a written exam. The course consist of two parts. In the first part, you are going to learn how relational databases work in practice: what happens inside the system when an SQL query is executed? In the 2nd part of the course, we are going to discuss applications for which relational databases do not provide a perfect solution: object-oriented data, semi-structured data, distributed data and online analytical processing.
