New Directions in Database Research Seminar Series

1-2:30pm

Speaker:
Ugur Cetintemel

Title:
Processing and Routing Streams in a Networked World

Abstract:
This talk will provide an overview of our recent work on building
distributed stream-oriented software infrastructures at Brown. Our
goal is to provide robust, scalable software support for an emerging
class of applications that require collection, processing and
distribution of large volumes of real-time data streams, generated by
a number of potentially distributed data sources (such as cameras,
weather stations, and network monitors). In particular, the talk will
cover the high-level design and the key features of Borealis, a
distributed stream processor, and XPORT, a distributed
publish/subscribe system. The talk will also highlight our ongoing
work on integrating these two systems and some future directions.
