Workshop on Database Consistency in the Cloud

15/09/2014 au 16/09/2014
Consistency is one of the fundamental issues of distributed computing. Theoretically, there are many competing consistency models, all subtly different and hard to understand. In practice, the well-known the Consistency-Availability-Partition Tolerance trade-off translates to difficult choices between fault tolerance, performance, and programmability. The issues and trade-offs are particularly vexing with a large number of processes, with a large shared database, and in the presence of high latency and failure-prone networks. It is clear that there is no one universally best solution. In order to better understand the issues and solution space, you are invited to attend an open Workshop on Database Consistency in the Cloud. The invited speakers are among the best experts in Europe and in the world, and there will be ample time for informal discussion.

Agenda:

  • Monday 15 September, 9:00–12:00
    • PhD defense of Pierpaolo Cincilla: Gargamel: boosting DBMS performance by parallelising write transactions.
