The future of DBMS
3
Overview

• What is DBMS now
• How DBMS was viewed before
• Current trends and developments
• Future directions of research

4
What is DBMS?

• Wikepedia definition of DBMS
• Is a set of programs that enables you to store,
  modify, and extract information from a database,
  it also provides users with tools to add, delete,
  access, modify, and analyze data stored in one
  location
• Active research area
• A multibillion dollar business.

5
Old DBMS

• Old DBMS
• Stand-alone,
• Static, non-interactive,
• Very limited representing interaction between
  objects,
• Confusing set of data models,
• Independent application

6
Current DBMS

• Parallel
• Distributed
• Information visualization HCI support
• Capable of learning and supporting
  decision-making process
• Enabling
• Supports transition data-gtinformation
• -gtknowledge-gtwisdom

7
Motivation

• Organizations are relying less on their own data
  automation and more on sharing.
• Portability of the data is a key component to
  finding and evaluating data and facilitating data
  transfer.
• New data models / structures emerge to better
  represent different phenomena.
• Extremely large data set problem becoming a
  crucial one.
• Security and privacy play pivotal role.

Related topics

• interoperability
• integration
• general type data (megadata)
• distributed systems
• decision support systems
• fuzzy datasets
• visualization

9
Trends in data storage

• Society is collecting and storing more
  information in a digital form
• There is better access to information for
  everyone, both within organizations and outside
  organizations (i.e. public access)

10
Trends in Integrated systems

• New query languages
• New inter-related systems
• New interfaces
• Extensive set of tools for data analysis, query
  and representation

11
Trends in web searching

• Graphic searchers
• Multimedia database
• New methods for information similarity
• Adaptive learning
• Data mining

12
Trends in on-line search

• User behavioral patterns
• Visual context
• Social profiles
• Multiple contexts
• User preference/profiling

13
Trends in privacy and security

• Encryption
• Combination of different security mechanisms
• Data privacy
• Policies in addition to backup/recovery

14
Future trends

• Integration (multiple formats, multiple
  databases)
• Accessibility (anytime, anywhere)
• Reliability (no data loss)
• Proper display of data (advanced graphics
  methods)
• Real-time access

15
Future trends

• Real-time decision support
• Information visualization and 3D modeling
• Tracking DB development on-line
• Data exchange between different
  applications/vendors
• Virtual and augmented reality
• Intelligent Decision support and cognitive
  methods for data analysis

16
Future Interfaces

• Scientific visualization tools
• Automated vision tools
• Fourth dimension
• Advanced spatial analysis tools (e.g. S)
• Beyond the WIMP (windows, icons, menus and
• pointers) Desktop
• High Interactivity
• Multisensory input
• Multisensory output
• Touch free displays

Whats next?

• Computing is not about computers any more. It
  is about living.
