This course is the second data management course in the CS Department.
As such, it has the following main objectives.
First, to study topics that go beyond the traditional relational database management system framework, such as information retrieval, data mining, and data warehousing.
Second, to study security-related issues as they arise in web-database environments.
Third, to expose students to advanced database applications and also to related data/information management and analysis technologies, while gaining hands-on experience.

| Textbook: |
|
There is no single textbook with enough coverage of all the material that we want to discuss
in this class. We will rely on online references and also on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf for
which the University has institutional access (i.e., you will not have to buy extra books).
