Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to provide the students with an in-depth understanding of distributed database technology and to equip them with the background required to conduct research in the area of distributed databases. Topics ranging from distributed transaction management and enhanced concurrency control to data replication and distributed query processing and optimization will be discussed throughout the course.

Learning Outcomes

The students who succeeded in this course;

will be able to give an in-depth description of distributed database technology.
will be able to describe how to implement transaction management and concurrency control in distributed database management systems.
will be able to design distributed databases in the presence of fragmentation and replication.
will be able to use serializability theory for assessing the correctness of optimistic and pessimistic concurrency control algorithms which are based on either locking or timestamp ordering.
will be able to interpret the concept of the reliability of a distributed database management system and implement distributed recovery and commit protocols in the presence of site failures and network partitioning.

Course Description

In this course, topics ranging from distributed database design, distributed transaction management and enhanced concurrency control to data replication and distributed query processing and optimization will be discussed.
