Dr Fernandez, an alumna of our graduate program, will give a lecture
on web site content and structure management using database technology, including

Labs, and is doing some very interesting work in this area. You can read about her
work on the Strudel system.

he founded. FlashBase provides easy-to-use databases on the web.
Friday 10/8: Agenda for the class
Shan will present some applications, Minwen will present
some infrastructure design from her research, and we will have a project
discussion.
Thursday 9/30: Special session from 10-11 with Dr Udi Manber
Udi Manber, Chief Scientist of Yahoo!, is our departemental colloquim
speaker on Wednesday. He has agreed to have a Q&A and general chat
session for our class (and for all interested grad students) on
Thursday at 10. Please attend his talk on Wednesday, ready yourself
with questions, and come to the Thursday morning session.
Monday 9/27: Class today at 3 in Room 402
Today we'll talk a bit about basics and present project ideas.
Friday 9/24: Today's class postponed to Monday at 3
JP is unwell so today's class is postponed to Monday at 3.
Only for this time.
In Room 402, which is where classes will be held from
now on.
On Monday, several of use will come prepared
with services or infrastructure projects to present and
discuss. So it will be an important class. If you
have ideas, please bring them with you. The class
after that will be next Friday as usual.
In the meantime, you may have noticed that there are a
bunch of papers now on the class web site. Please start
by reading the papers from Berkeley, especially the
first and last papers in the Services category and the
Cluster-Based Scalable Network Services paper from the
Infrastructure category, and come to class ready to
discuss. They're pretty easy reading.
People who came
to class last Friday or are interested in the class but
have not responded to my earlier email, please do so
today. Please let me know in the email if you plan to take the
class and do a project (whether or not we will admit
non-project people is not yet decided, but let me know if you
fall into that category).
Please note that the class will be held on Fridays at 3 pm, and
the new room is 402.
