Classical topics covered include, but are not necessarily limited to:
distributed DBMS architectures, distributed design, distributed query
processing and optimization, and distributed transaction processing. More
advanced and current topics include: data integration, peer data
management, streaming data, and cloud computing.
Prerequisites: Required is a solid knowledge of
relational database systems at the level of a typical undergraduate course
(e.g., CSI3317 or CSI3717). Also, a course on computer networks at the
undergraduate level is highly desirable.
