Fall 2003 Database Seminar


Invitation

We are soliciting talks from our faculty members, students, and visitors from industry and other institutions. Please consider sharing your interesting research on database systems with us. The dates open are listed below -- but if you happen to be available at some other date than those listed, or at a date that's already taken, please contact Rajasekar Krishnamurthy. We are very flexible in moving talks around!


Schedule

Unless otherwise announced, this one-hour seminar is held every Friday of the semester in room 2310 CS&S at 1:30 pm.

You can also check out the upcoming talks in the department's event page.

In many applications involving continuous data streams, data arrival is bursty and data rates fluctuate over time. Systems that seek to give rapid or real-time query responses in such an environment must be prepared to deal gracefully with bursts in data arrival without compromising system performance. In this talk, I'll discuss two strategies for processing bursty streams: adaptive, load-aware scheduling of query operators to minimize memory consumption during periods of peak load, and "load shedding" (dropping unprocessed tuples to reduce system load) when the demands placed on the system cannot be met in full given available resources.
