The goal of the course is to introduce students to the following advanced topics in database systems: concurrency control, transaction processing, workflow management, crash recovery, distributed and heterogeneous databases. Students will design and implement advanced database functionalities and their applications to deepen their understanding of these concepts and theories.
A tentative series of lectures are given in the following, which is subject to change. The lecture slides are available (Chapters with * are self-study only).
The course will require the following work:
All the above work is expected to be done individually except the projects which will be completed by a group of at most two students.
If you have any feedback, suggestion, concern, or complaint about any aspect of the class, you should either meet the instructor during his office hours or make an appointment with him to discuss them. You will not discuss them with other students in public either in class or outside the class, even you have a good intention for finding whether your concern is a common concern or not. It is the instructor’s job to find out how many students might have the same concern, not your job. You are only allowed to express your own feedback, concern, suggestion, or complaint, not those of others. The instructor has the final authority for all aspects of the class.
Office hours are used for clarification of doubts and confusions. Students should not ask a TA or instructor for an evaluation of their assignment or project and use the informal positive feedback as a promise for good grades. It is not the responsibility of the TA and instructor in their office hours to tell you what parts of your assignment solutions are wrong.
You can have one late submission for either an assignment or for a project but not for both up to one week without any penalty. Please indicate on the cover page (or readme.txt file) of your submission when you use your late excuse. If late excuse is not used, a penalty of 20 % per day will be assessed. No late excuse can be used for any exam.
Copying an assignment from another student in this
class or obtaining a solution from some other source will lead to an automatic
failure for this course and to a disciplinary action. Allowing another student
to copy one's work will be treated as an act of academic dishonesty, leading to
the same penalty as copying. You should learn how to protect your data. Failure
to do so is also unprofessional and it may expose you to the danger that
someone will copy your homework and will submit it as his or her own (see
above). In this case, you may be given a score of 0 for the assignment in
question (and the other party will get a failure).
