CS828 Advanced Topics in Database Systems

Computer Science is dynamic; Moore’s Law tells us that today’s standard could very well be obsolete in 18 months.  This course addresses the top three issues of current database theory and practice, identifying current trends and near future changes in the field.  As such, the course content will vary according to the evolution of the discipline.  Students will research major literature sources that address issues and trends, compare and contrast centralized database systems with distributed databases and identify principles behind database warehousing and data mining.
