About the Course

The seminar will cover papers with selected topics in the area of information access and data management, such as Internet information integration, ranked query processing, similarity-based search, and other active areas in the field. Our goal is to study the research activities going on in the database community through paper reading.

As a reference, in a previous CS491 version (which was a graduate seminar) of this course, we studied papers from very recent database conferences. You can take a look here for the selected papers-- although we will not repeat them, the general flavor will be similar.

We will set up the specific theme of readings as well as the schedule in the first meeting.

Prerequisites

Format

This course will draw material from the literature in the relevant journals and conferences (e.g., SIGMOD, VLDB, WWW).  Students will read and present the selected papers, usually one per week.

Presentation:

Each student will present one or more papers (depending on the enrollment) during the semester.

Class Participation:

Students will participate in class discussions during and after each presentation.  Attendance is required.

Evaluation:

The grade will be based on the paper presentations, class attendance, and participation in discussions.

Schedule

The tentative schedule is as follows.  We may change the schedule as needed, with good reasons.

You can find most of the class readings online, as provided by ACM Digital Library, SIGMOD Anthology, or the authors. Note that ACM DL can be freely accessible from the UIUC domain.
