Learning Outcomes

Algemene competenties

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.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
