MODULE DESCRIPTION

In this unit, the students cover advance topics from database design, database
Introduction development, and topics in research and industrial practices in databases. Content
covers well established and popular database technologies such as Relational, No SQL,
Object Relational, XML databases. The assignments throughout the unit will be
focused on providing an understanding into the material covered in lecture sections.
Number of research paper presentations will be carried out to enhance research
capabilities and to improve independent deep learning skills.

Learning At the end of the module student will be able to:


Outcomes
LO1: Design and implement enterprise database systems using both relational and
object-relational models
LO2: Use NoSQL and XML databases in software developments

LO3: Analyze and optimize relational database engine and query language for data
intensive applications
LO4: Design appropriate distributed and parallel database techniques towards
better data management
LO5: Analyze database related issues and write a review paper

Assessment During the semester, there will be three Assignments and a final exam. The Assignment
Criteria 1 and 2 are based on case studies. Third assignment is based on research related
activities carried out. The final examination will be a comprehensive exam based on
the lecture materials covered during the semester.
