Seminar: Self-Tuning Databases

Organizational

Lecturer: Gunter Saake, Eike Schallehn, Ingolf Geist
Time: Wed. 11:15
Location: G29 - 128

Topic: Self-Tuning Databases

Selfoptimizing database systems are one of the most exciting areas of interest in current database research. One of the reasons is the growing volume and the dynamics of data which have to be administered. There are also new application fields like "knowledge discovery in databases", which accomplishes several tasks of analysis at the same time on the data. That makes a manual optimization, for example the access paths (indices, etc..), ever more difficult. A solution for this is the automatic adaptation of system parameters, which is called Self-Tuning.
