The goal of the course is to illustrate the modern solutions to the management of big data, very large repositories of de-structured data. Starting from the requirements of modern database applications, the course will illustrate the hardware and software architectures that have been recently proposed for the management and analysis of big data. The topics addressed in the course will include: cluster architectures, map-reduce paradigm, cloud computing, NoSQL systems, tools and languages for data analysis. Both theoretical and practical aspects will be addressed and the discussed technologies will be experimented during practical classes and through the assignment of projects.
