Staff

• Dr. Michalis Petropoulos, Assistant Professor

Description

The purpose of the seminar is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art on a set of topics in current database research. Each week, 2-3 papers on a databases-related topic will be presented and discussed. A choice of papers is given for the students to pick which one to present. Also, the students are required to read the papers scheduled for presentation each week, to be able to participate in discussions in class. In detail:

• The students will be required to give a class presentation and prepare a report. Those will be based on an original research or survey paper.
• The students must have their slides ready for the preparation meeting with the instructor on the Wednesday before their presentation (see Schedule below).
• Report Guidelines - Due one week after your presentation
• All students must read at least one relevant paper a week and be prepared for the discussions in class. Every student has to ask at least one question!
• Class attendance and participation are mandatory.
• It is possible to register for 1-3 credits.
• Prerequisite: CSE 560, CSE 562 or equivalent.

This is the tentative list of possible presentation topics that I would like to cover in the seminar. You can choose among those or propose another topic. Seed papers for each topic will keep being added until the second meeting. You should look at the list of references in these papers to find more relevant papers.
