About the Course

This class is designed for upper-division undergrads or junior grads, to read classic database literatures (in the very famous redbook) and compare/contrast them with more recent database research works (hence the name ¼¼´ë°ø°¨ ¿Ãµå ¾Ø ´º). You will be surprised to find out how these classic ideas stand the test of time and even impact new solutions to new problems.
As an added bonus, throughout this course, you will experience "daily grinds" of researchers, in particular, reviewing existing literature to find out what your peers are doing, carrying out your own research, and eventually, selling your works (ideally outside of classroom). Hopefully, you will find out doing research is not so scary and can be FUN.
Before you freak out, rest assured that you are not required to know much about databases or data management. All of us will start together at ground zero.
