COURSE
DESCRIPTION:
This is a course on
database systems that is intended for advanced undergraduates in computer
science. The course offers an introduction to database system concepts in
general, particularly relational database design, terminology, and
techniques to create and modify database management systems (DBMS).
Application development, query optimization,
transaction management, concurrency control, recovery mechanisms, parallel
and distributed databases will be
covered in detail. In the end of the course, the students are expected to
gain an in-depth understanding on how the databases are designed, queried
and maintained.
While not mandatory, it is expected
that the students should take BBM 371 prior to BBM 471. In addition, the
students are expected to have a sound knowledge of data structures and
algorithms.

COMMUNICATION:
The course webpage will be updated
regularly throughout the semester with lecture notes, programming and
reading assignments and important deadlines. All other communications will
be carried out through Piazza. Please enroll it by following the links

POLICIES:
All work on assignments must be done individually unless stated otherwise. You are encouraged to discuss with your classmates about the given assignments, but these discussions should be carried out in an abstract way. That is, discussions related to a particular solution to a specific problem (either in actual code or in the pseudocode) will not be tolerated. In short, turning in someone else's work, in whole or in part, as your own will be considered as a violation of academic integrity. Please note that the former condition also holds for the material found on the web as everything on the web has been written by someone else.
