Created as part of the Master of information Technology and Master of Applied Information Technology Units - 2009

Re-introduced as a Tier-2 unit (advanced unit) for Master of Information Technology - 2014

17/7/13 Amending unit prerequisites and knowledge prerequisites. Effective Semester 1 2014.

MAIT specific prerequisites removed as there was no need to have the pre-requisites course specific. This amendment has been made in order to align with the discussion which took place at GPC 1/10.

This unit serves as a Tier-2 (advanced) unit in the new Master of Information Technology course - 2014.

10/6/13 - Added the reason for change on behalf of CE. The reason for change was to remove 10% attendance from assessment, and change the in-semester assessment to 100% to follow the university policies. Amendment to Assessment for Semester 2,2013 implementation.

15/08/2013 - Changed the learning objectives to learning outcomes to comply with AQF requirements.

15/08/2013 - Changed assessment to include examination component that was suggested by the working party. Assessment change to take effect Semester 2,2014.

7/10/13 - Added length of examination on behalf of CE.

21/10/2014 - Amended prerequisite requirements by adding 2015, FIT9xxx version of 2014, FIT5xxx foundation units. Approved at GPC 4/14 (Item 6.2).

2/11/2014 - Typing error correction - changed pre-requisite from: ((FIT9131 or FIT5131 or FIT9017) and (FIT5132 or FIT5132 or FIT9003 or FIT9019)) or equivalent to: ((FIT9131 or FIT5131 or FIT9017) and (FIT9132 or FIT5132 or FIT9003 or FIT9019)) or equivalent.

07/12/2017 - Unit disestablished at FEC 5/17 Item 7.3.

This unit is one of four core units in the Data Management Specialisation of the Master of Information Technology (MIT) and Master of Applied Information Technology (MAIT). It is available as elective in all FIT Masters. It replaces CSE5200. The unit addresses advanced issues of distributed database systems, reflects the state-of-the-art in the area, and is very much relevant to industry demands.

This is one of the advanced units (Tier-2) in the Master of Information Technology - 2014, and is also available as an elective for all FIT masters.

At the completion of this unit students should be able to:

• describe the principles of distributed data management such as partition, replication and concurrency;
• identify the current research directions in the field;
• describe and contrast the current available models, technologies for and approaches to building distributed data management systems;
• develop a system that applies appropriate models and technologies to solve practical data management problems.

020199

This unit focuses on designing, developing and deploying distributed data management systems. The unit introduces various contemporary issues in managing large data in distributed environment such as data model, fragmentation, replication and concurrency control. The issues will be discussed using several contemporary approaches of distributed data management.
