CS 572 Summer 1
Advanced Databases
Required Textbook:
Database Systems, Elmarsi/Navathe, Addison Wesley(any edition)
Other References:
1. PowerPoint slides, class website contents
2. Video tapes
Description:
We will cover Intelligent Databases in general including Deductive
Databases, Fuzzy Databases, Multimedia Databases, Object Oriented
Databases, Distributed Databases, Data Warehousing and OLAP. For
deductive, fuzzy and object oriented databases, we will use as an
implementation language the declarative language PROLOG to build
deductive and OO database prototypes. We will cover elements of Machine
Learning such as neural networks, decision and classification trees,
and the integration of DBMS and ML into Data Mining.
Class delivery format:
The class is offered in an online, asynchronous format.
All individual emails to the instructor will be answered by the end of the day received.
Tests will be online. The MIDTERM will be sent by email to each student by 10:00 a.m.
of the announced day and she/he will have till 10:00 a.m. of the next day to complete, and
email the answers back to the instructor. The answers should be typed in a word file
(preferred) or they can be handwritten and scanned. The FINAL will be emailed to each
student by 10:00 p.m. of the announced day and students will have till 5:00 p.m. of the
next day (July 6th) to complete and return by email as a Word .doc file or scanned.
The homework and the optional project are due by email by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday July
3rd.
In addition to the online format, for those students who prefer the person to person
interaction with the instructor, the instructor will be available at the BR156 Intelligent
Systems and Robotics Lab on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. to meet with
students. If you have doubts about the material and your questions were not satisfactorily
answered by the video lectures or email communications, you can come if you wish to
meet with the instructor.
The table below gives the reading assignments each day from the book, powerpoints and
online sources.
