Data Management Infrastructures for
Non-Relational Formats Philippe Cudre-Mauroux Postdoctoral Associate,
MIT Computer
Science Faculty Candidate Abstract: Today,
we are witnessing an explosion of structured data formats beyond the
classical relational model. HTML forms, time series values, social or
Semantic Web formats, and array formats are being adopted by an increasing
fraction of computer users, all facing seemingly unsolvable issues related to
the sharing, the processing, and the retrieval of their data. In
this talk, I will describe some of my recent results in designing, analyzing,
and deploying information management infrastructures for non-relational data.
I will explain why generic data back-ends are inappropriate in this context,
how new, native infrastructures have to be developed to handle those data
types, and how such infrastructures can be leveraged by higher-level
applications to foster search, data processing, and data integration in very
large settings. ______ Philippe Cudre-Mauroux is a postdoctoral
associate working in the Database Systems group at MIT. He received his Ph.D.
from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology EPFL, where he won the
Doctorate Award and the EPFL Press Mention in 2007. Before joining MIT, he
worked on distributed information management systems for HP, IBM T.J. Watson,
and Microsoft Research Asia. His research interests are in large-scale
distributed infrastructures for non-relational data such as spatiotemporal,
scientific, or Semantic Web data. Webpage: http://people.csail.mit.edu/pcm/ Host: Prof. Michael Gennert Refreshments will be served. Last modified: =03/03/2010 |
