• Grading:
– Homework Assignments 15%
– Project 25%
– Midterm 25%
– Final 35%
Expectation from Project
• Show me that you can apply what you have learned
in class to a “new” problem in data management
• It is not sufficient to show that you have mastered
the concepts taught in class
– Ex: Implementation of a B-Tree is insufficient!
• An implementation will be required as proof-ofconcept unless you can convince me otherwise
Way to Proceed
• If you already know the problem you want to work
on for the project, let Shivnath know
• Otherwise:
– Pick a topic
– Think about problems within that topic (Shivnath
can give you suggestions)
– Discuss with Shivnath to narrow down to a
specific problem within that topic
Possible Topics
• “What is happening today in data
management”
– Data streams
– Web search: Google, Yahoo!
– Data mining (SQLServer)
– Sensor data management
– XML (+ relational)
– Data integration
