Title: " Data Management for Interactive Data-Intensive Applications
Lecturer: Associate professor Marcos Vaz Salles, Datalogisk Institut, Københavns Universitet, Danmark

Abstract:
Interactive data-intensive applications, such as data visualizations and maps, computer games and simulations, or in-memory transactional and analytics systems, are becoming ever more pervasive and important to our society. In this talk, we outline data management challenges in these emerging applications, and describe example approaches from our current research. First, we discuss how to deal with the latency heterogeneity encountered when running these applications in public clouds, and present a tool to optimize application deployment by carefully mapping application nodes to instances. Second, we explore the challenge of declarative pre-computation of complex data transformations in these applications, discussing an example of selecting data for zoomable maps. 

Short Bio:
Marcos Vaz Salles is an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science (DIKU) of the University of Copenhagen. His research targets building declarative and efficient data-driven systems for emerging interactive applications. Marcos's recent work has been focused on main-memory databases, spatial data, and cloud computing, motivated by use cases in open geodata visualization, behavioral simulations, computer games, and finance. Marcos holds a PhD from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and was a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University, USA. Previously, Marcos obtained his MSc from PUC-Rio, Brazil, and his BSc from the University of Campinas, Brazil.
