2019

The paper "Network Topology Design at 27,000 Km/hour" by Debopam Bhattacherjee and Ankit Singla (ACM CoNEXT 2019) has been awarded with the Applied Networking Research Prize by IETF/IRTF for 2020.

Congratulations to Ioana Giurgiu, Oriana Riva, Dejan Juric, Ivan Krivulev, and Gustavo Alonso who have been awarded the Test-of-Time Award of the ACM/IFIP/Usenix International Middleware Conference 2019 for their paper “Calling the Cloud: Enabling mobile phones as interfaces to cloud applications", published in Middleware 2009.

Dr. David Cock, a postdoctoral researcher in the Systems Group, received the ACM SIGOPS 2019 Hall of Fame award for a paper he co-authored ten years ago.

We show how JSONiq can be used not only to manipulate JSON input, but also to build a standard inverted index on and query a text collection.

Frank McSherry awarded the Test-Of-Time Award at SIGMOD 2019 for his paper "Privacy integrated queries: an extensible platform for privacy-preserving data analysis"

Kaan Kara obtained third place in the System Design Contest (FPGA category) at the 56th Design Automation Conference (DAC 2019).

The increasing amount of data available to process, as well as the ever-growing discrepancy between storage capacity, throughput and latency, has forced the database community to come up with new querying paradigms in the last two decades.

This is the story of how James Munns (from Ferrous Systems) and Andrea Lattuada (PhD student in the Systems Group) designed and implemented (two versions!) of an high-perf lock-free ring-buffer for cross-thread communication.
