Description
Textbook: Principles
of Distributed Database Systems 3rd edition ,M. Tamer Ozsu
Project A
Describe a
multi-location multi- database application that is similar to for example
Amazon, e-bay etc. that solves a problem for a client. The hypothetical client
of yours may need for example a web- shop similar to Amazon to sell books and
few other articles (for the simplicity limit the number of articles to 20 or
30) within Turkey and northern Europe.
The choice of the application is yours, but it must be able to explore the
distributed data and application concepts you have covered in the textbook. A top down approach to design the
system taking into account:
a.
Distributed Directory Management
b.
Distributed Query Processing
c.
Distributed Concurrency Control
d.
Distributed Deadlock Management
e.
Reliability of Distributed DBMS
f.
Replication
g.
Relationship among Problems
Take into
consideration providing cost models and calculations to justify the design and
models to the technical staff of the client’s organization.
1. Provide the description of the problem and its list
of requirements that must represent enough complexity so that you will need the
implementation of a distributed database management system to support the
applications at different sites.
2.
Provide the description of the applications’
web-based user interaction using story-boards (user interfaces or user screens)
so that a user will be able to understand your solution, and your client will
be able to approve the solution by examining and going through according to
his/her requirements. This description must take into consideration:
a. Level of sharing
b.
Behavior of access patterns
c.
Level of knowledge on access pattern behavior
3. Provide the high-level network model as in the
figure 1.5 (text book) to improve the understandability.
4. Provide the representation of your distributed DBMS
and justify your choice and technical specifications of the systems including
the communication network that will be necessary for implementing the solution
you propose.
5.
Provide the relational local schema as well as the
global schema for your client’s problem, also don’t forget to include some
instances, and take care that the relation schemas are normalized.
Keep in mind to take into account the design issues given
above.
6.
Provide the top down
design approach taking into consideration distribution design issues:
a.
Reasons for Fragmentation
b. Fragmentation Alternatives
c.
Degree of Fragmentation
d.
Correctness Rules of Fragmentation
e.
Allocation Alternatives
f.
Information Requirements
Using the cost model calculations and
interpretations given in the text book make the cost calculations to justify
the reliability of performance of your design. (For
calculations only -use
a large number of tuples in your tables – because it’s easy to show
the feasibility of your approach).
7. Provide an overview of
database integration, and how you have taken care of the data and access control.
8. Provide examples of user
query processing for the problem of your client and give the explanation you would provide for the client on
– How the user interfaces work according to the clients problem and
requirements you described in the beginning.
- taking
into consideration the
a.
query decomposition
b. data localization
c.
optimization of distributed queries
d. processing of multi database queries
9. Provide the transaction
management and requirements and couple the discussion to the selected architecture model and describe it in order to
make the clients’ technical team understand your knowledge and solution.
10. Describe your concurrency
control model and how you handle the dead lock controls during multi-user access.
11. Justify the distributed DBMS
solutions reliability by explaining how it works.
12. Provide the justification for the data replication strategy with the
approach you have introduced.
Note:
When you are making the report of the Project A part – Please
use the same numbering 1 - 12 as given above when replying to those
requirements.
Project B
Implementation of
the Distributed Data Base System and Application you have proposed to your
client that you theoretically proved - that it works in the project A.
