[Fall 2023] Viewing Collaborative Editing Through a Databases Lens (Martin Kleppmann) CANCELLED

Speaker:

Martin Kleppmann

Software that allows several users to collaboratively edit a document, such as Google Docs, has traditionally been ignored by the databases community. This is surprising, because managing the edits to a text document, spreadsheet, vector graphics file, etc. is very much a data management problem, albeit with a data model that is very different from that supported by most databases....

On Embedding Database Management System Logic in Operating Systems via Restricted Programming Environments (Matt Butrovich)

Speaker:

Matt Butrovich

The rise in computer storage and network performance means that disk I/O and network communication are often no longer bottlenecks in database management systems (DBMSs). Instead, the overheads associated with operating system (OS) services (e.g., system calls, thread scheduling, and data movement from kernel- space) limit query processing responsiveness. To avoid these overheads, user-space applications prioritizing performance over simplicity can... Read More
