Abstract:                                  The cost of ownership of any
commercial database system is significant. The AutoAdmin project at
Microsoft Research was initiated (well before the term Autonomic
Computing became a buzzword) to develop techniques to reduce the
overhead of database administration. Our goal was to make it easier to
monitor the server and develop self-tuning techniques for performance
management. The technology from this project has been incorporated in
the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (and earlier releases - SQL Server 7.0 and
SQL Server 2000). This talk will take a look at some of the past
research results and discuss challenges and opportunities in self-tuning
DBMS research.

 

Bio:                                          Surajit Chaudhuri is a
Senior Researcher and leads the Data Management and Exploration Group at
Microsoft Research. His areas of interest include self-tuning database
systems, query optimization, data cleaning and other tools for data
integration, understanding synergy between IR and DBMS. As his work
outside of database research, he led the development of CMT, a
conference management service hosted by Microsoft Research since 1999
for the academic community. Chaudhuri has a doctorate from Stanford
University and is an ACM Fellow. He was awarded the SIGMOD Contributions
Award in 2004.
