DESCRIPTION:Prof. Daniel Abadi\, Assistant Professor at Yale University\nT
 itle: Scalable Database Systems for a Machine-Dominated World\n\nAbstract:
  \nAs machines slowly replace humans as the primary source of data generat
 ion and transaction initiators\, we enter a new era where data generation 
 and transaction processing increases at the speed of Mooreʼs law\, perman
 ently creating a need for scalable data management systems. In this talk\,
  I will present the architecture of two scalable data management systems w
 e have built in my group at Yale: the first is a scalable system optimized
  for data analysis called HadoopDB that attempts to combine the scalabilit
 y of batch-processing systems such as Hadoop with the interactive performa
 nce of parallel database systems. The talk will overview the ideas from th
 e initial paper on HadoopDB\, and then will discuss some recent developmen
 ts.\n\nThe second system is designed for scalable transactional processing
 \, with a particular focus on the hard problem of achieving high throughpu
 t in non-partitionable workloads. The basic idea is to replace the concurr
 ency control component of database systems with a deterministic protocol\,
  and use multiple such systems as building blocks for scalable transaction
  processing. Such an approach enables low-cost consistent replication whil
 e improving transactional throughput by eliminating two-phase commit. I wi
 ll present the basic architecture of the system in addition to some promis
 ing early results on transactional processing benchmarks (i.e.\, TPC-C).\n
 \nBio:\nDaniel Abadi is an Assistant Professor at Yale University. Before 
 joining Yale\, he did his graduate studies at MIT where he received his Ph
 .D. Abadi has been a recipient of a Churchill Scholarship\, an NSF CAREER 
 Award\, a Sloan Research Fellowship\, the 2008 SIGMOD Jim Gray Doctoral Di
 ssertation Award\, and the 2007 VLDB best paper award. His research on Had
 oopDB is currently being commercialized by Hadapt\, where Abadi also serve
 s as chief scientist. He blogs at dbmsmusings.blogspot.com and tweets at @
