Niveau

1st semester: Master's course / 2nd semester: Master's course

Learning outcomes of the courses/module

The following skills are developed in the course:

- Students are familiar with various advanced data storage concepts (e.g. NoSQL databases, distributed databases, etc.).
- Students can compare and select data storage concepts with regard to their suitability for projects.
- Students understand the special requirements for data storage resulting from the use of very quantities amounts of data (Big Data).

Prerequisites for the course

1st semester: Students will have previous knowledge in the field of information technologies to the extent of 6 ECTS and therefore know the concept of the relational database and can read simple SQL queries. / 1st semester: Students will have previous knowledge in the field of information technologies to the extent of 6 ECTS and therefore know simple programming concepts (e.g. variables, branches, loops) as well as typical programming approaches (e.g. functional programming). / 2nd semester: SDDE.A1 module examination (Software Development 1)

Course content

The following content is discussed in the course:

- Properties of high-performance data systems (scalability, maintainability, reliability)
- Established concepts of data storage (Relational Model)
- Historical concepts of data storage (Hierarchical Model, Network Model)
- Modern concepts of data storage (Wide-Column Model, Graph Model, Key-Value Model, Document Model, Column-Oriented Model)
- Database systems, matching the models discussed
- Scaling of data systems (replication and partitioning)
- Writing and reading in data systems (index structures, write strategies)
