+===== Last important announcement ====
+All VUB student registered to the course who are not on the Teams of the course should take contact with boris.coquelet@ulb.be. Once added to the Teams, please, register to the notifications of the channel to be sure not to miss any info.
+Here are a few additional notes and reminders about today's exercise session.
+The exercise session will start at 14h10 in UB4.126. Please arrive a bit in advance in order to have time to find a spot before the start of the recap, especially if you need to use the computer of the room (see more details about these computers further).
+I will try to record the session as I have been informed that some of you have a schedule conflict. I do not guarantee that it will always work tough, I might forget or there might be some technical problems. These recordings will be available on Teams only.
+I hope most of you succeeded at installing the necessary software. If it is not the case you can use the ones in the room. I tested the ones in the room Monday morning and here are some observations:
+- You need to start the computer on windows. When selecting windows in the Grub, some computers get stuck on a black screen. If this is the case you need to force restart. Trying again should solve the problem on most computers. For some of them however it doesn't work. If you have the problem more than 3 time I would advise you to change the computer.
+- Once you arrive on the login page, please login with you netid and password. If you do not have one you can try with fsa-vub-students as login and password (it is not guaranteed that it works, I forgot to test it). Once you entered the correct login and password you might get stuck on a loading page indicating "Please wait for the user profile service". This takes a lot of time (took around 10 min for me) windows should finally open after so please be patient.
+The system admin made an update which might have solved these problems but I couldn't test since...
+See this afternoon,
+Gilles

 ===== Objectives =====
 Today, databases are moving away from typical management applications, and address new application areas. For this, databases must consider (1) recent developments in computer technology, as the object paradigm and distribution, and (2) management of new data types such as spatial or temporal data. This course introduces the concepts and techniques of some innovative database applications.

+Students, in groups of four students, will realize a project in a topic relevant to advanced databases. Examples of topics are given in the next section of this document. Please notice that the template for these topics is "<Technology> with <Tool1> and <Tool2>".
-Each group will study a database technology and illustrate it with an application developed in a database management system to be chosen (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2, SQL Server, mySQL, etc..).
+Each group will study a database technology (e.g., document stores, time series databases, etc.) and illustrate it with an application developed in two database management systems to be chosen (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.). The topic should be addressed in a technical way, to explain the foundations of the underlying technology. The application must use the chosen technology. Examples of technologies and tools can be found for example in the following  [[https://db-engines.com/en/ranking|web site]].
-The topic should be addressed in a technical way, to explain the underlying technologies. The application must use the specific technology manipulated.
-The choice of topic and the application must be made in agreement with the lecturer. The topic should not be included in the programme of the Master in Computer Science and Engineering. The project will be presented to the lecturer and the fellow students at the end of the semester. This presentation will be supported by a slideshow. A written report containing the contents of the presentation is also required. The presentation and written report will explain the possibilities offered by the database management system chosen and give a general description of the application implemented.
+It is important to understand that the objective of the project is NOT about developing an application with a GUI. The objective is to benchmark the proposed tool in relation to the database requirements of your application. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the set of queries and updates that your application requires and do a benchmark with, e.g., 1K, 10K, 100K, and 1M "objects" (rows, documents, nodes, etc. depending on the technology used) to determine if the tool shows a linear or exponential behavior. Please notice that you SHOULD NOT generate data for the benchmark since you can find in Internet (1) a huge number of available datasets (2) alternatively, there are many available data generators.
+As usual when performing benchmarks, the queries and updates are executed n times (e.g., 6 times where the first execution is not considered because it is different from the others since the cache structures must be filled) and the average of the execution times is computed. A comparison with traditional relational technology (e.g., using PostgreSQL) must be provided to show that the chosen tool is THE technology of choice for your application, better than all other alternatives, and that it will perform correctly when the system is deployed at full scale. Please notice that there are MANY standard benchmarks for various database technologies so in that case you should prefer using a standard benchmark that reinventing the wheel and create your own benchmark.

The project will be presented to the lecturer and the fellow students at the end of the semester. This presentation will be supported by a slideshow. A written report containing the contents of the presentation is also required. The presentation and the report will (1) explain the foundations of the technology chosen, (2) explain how these foundations are implemented by the database management systems chosen and (3) illustrate all these concepts with the application implemented.

+   * An introduction to the two tools, each presented by a subgroup of two persons
