What is a Database?
Types of DBMS and Products
SQL
Database Administrators and Their Roles
Model Management
The goal of this research is to make database systems easier to use for model driven applicaitons such as design tools and message translators. Current research concetrates on algorithms for matching, merging, and generating models.
Phoenix (Microsoft)
The goal of this research is to improve the availability of applications, and the error handling robustness of aplications. System crashes can be catastrophic, and this research concentrates on database recovery techniques so that applications can survive system crashes. This is vital in fields where mission critical applications can have fatal consequences such as in Health Care.
