LSD gets a European PhD Award from Microsoft Research Cambridge (2005)
Prof. Marta Patiño-Martinez has received one of the 20 European PhD Awards from Microsoft Research Cambridge to fund a research project titled "High performance database replication for storage area networks". Mr. Damián Serrano will make the PhD on this topic funded by the award.
Research summary: New developments in database replication protocols and new architectures such as system and storage area networks (SANs) have changed dramatically the limits of the scalability for eager database replication. In this project Damien will build upon these developments to produce a highly scalable replicated database. SANs will be exploited to attain low overhead replica coordination. New correctness criteria such as 1-copy snapshot isolation will be exploited to enhance scalability by removing read-write conflicts. Finally, autonomic reconfiguration and optimisation will be exploited to maximise performance.
