Dr. Qiming Chen, HP Labs, China

Abstract:

In this talk, we will introduce the direction and projects of HP Labs China in scalable information management research. Then we will discuss the scalability issue of information services from multiple dimensions, at both service layer and data management layer. We show how to scale-up information services by using parallel databases and by using distributed file systems, along with comparison of different types of parallel databases built on server clusters.
