CSC 8713 - Spatial and Scientific Databases

4 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: CSC 6710.
Description
This course will cover a number of advanced concepts: spatial databases, high-dimensional data indexing (with applications in Content-based Image Retrieval through kNN querying), data warehouses, and an introduction to emerging spatio-temporal database systems. The lectures will provide graduate students with sufficient foundation to conduct their own, but supervised research in the field of databases at the graduate level. Students will gain hands on experience on the chosen aspect of database systems through completion of an individual graduate research project.
