Please contact us using mds@mailkemper.in.tum.de.

Meetings take place on Mondays (2pm-3pm) in 02.09.014

Content

In this seminar, we study the challenges of modern database systems. We discuss the topic along papers very recent publications in different blocks:

  1. transaction processing
  2. locks
  3. sampling and statistics
  4. index strucutures

Prerequisites

This seminar is geared towards the top students in database systems with a keen interest in developing database systems. A strong background in C++ is highly recommended.
  • Fundamentals of Databases (Grundlagen Datenbanken, GDB) or similar course.
  • Additional database implementation courses are highly recommended.
