In the second talk of the UMBC ACM Student Chapter's Tech Talk Series,
ACM Distinguished Speaker Dr. Mukesh Mohania will visit UMBC and talk
about "Cloud based Active Archiving Solution for Databases".

Cloud computing offers an exciting opportunity to bring on-demand
applications to customers and is being used for delivering hosted
services over the Internet and/or processing massive amount of data
for business intelligence. In this talk, we will discuss the
architecture of cloud computing, MapReduce, and Hadoop. We will then
discuss how the cloud infrastructure can be used for data management
services, how the massive amount of data can be processed over cloud
for various business intelligence applications, and how the cloud can
be used for 'Active' Data Archival for near real-time data access. We
discuss various issues concerning the active archive system including
schema modification, query federation, query optimization, access
control and data provenance. Using TPC-DS benchmark data, we present
evaluation results that shows the ability of our system to seamlessly
query archive data along with data stored in the warehouse in order of
minutes compared to hours required to move the data into the warehouse
from traditional archival systems.
