Abstract

The objective of Advanced databases course delivery is to form professional competencies related to design and implementation of non-relational databases, including object-oriented, object-relational, deductive, multidimensional and semistructured database models. Students will get a grasp on strengths and weaknesses of wide spectrum of approaches to data storage, search and retrieval, resulting in informed choice of database model. The course is based on “Advanced databases” course of Eindhoven University of Technology (Eindhoven, Netherlands), Faculty of Math and Computer Science, author and principal lecturer – Prof. Dr. Toon Calders. While Databases course of bachelor curricula covered many of the core concepts behind database modeling, design and implementation, there are many other considerations that should be addressed for successful scientific or industry career in this field. The main objective of this course is to expand students’ view and introduce advanced topics, including object-oriented extensions, deductive databases and appropriate query languages, data warehouses and online analytical data processing, and XML. The additional topics covered in this course will help students become more proficient in choosing appropriate technologies for projects and will expand their knowledge base so that they have a better understanding of the field. By the end of the course, students should have a solid grasp on business intelligence tools and XML, which will prove to be invaluable as they progress further in computer science studies.
