Doug Judd – Scalable NoSQL: Past, Present & Future

Over the past five years there has been an explosion of new NoSQL database technologies whose primary innovation has been the ability to break capacity barriers by harnessing the collective power and resource of large clusters of server class PCs. Doug Judd, the original creator of Hypertable, will present a past, present, and future look at scalable NoSQL databases, providing insights into the forces that led to their creation, a review of the current state of the field, and factors that will influence their future evolution.
 
 
 

Luca Garulli – NoSQL adoption, what’s the next step?

Today many companies are already using a NoSQL solution to handle a piece of data. What is the next step? Probably the adoption of NoSQL as total replacement of Relational DBMS. To reach this goal NoSQL solutions have to supports multiple models and features, that are already available in Relational DBMS. The challenge is started.
 
 
 

Salvatore Sanfilippo – The new Redis 2.6

There have been a lot of changes Redis had to go through in recent months. After one year in the lab, the new Redis 2.6 is now entering the NoSQL scene, providing a lot of new functions. So, how will Redis meet the demands of the upcoming challenges? Redis-creator Salvatore Sanfilippo will tell you.

Peter Idestam-Almquist – A different kind of database

Peter Idestam-Almquist will describe a different kind of a NewSQL database, which will process millions of ACID-compliant transactions while scaling in on a single machine to fully ensure consistency. He will also delve into the technical differentiators between traditional relational databases, NoSQL and NewSQL databases and what applications they are best-suited for.
 
 
 

Jan Lehnardt – The No-Marketing Bullshit Introduction to Couchbase Server 2.0

Couchbase is an Apache 2.0 licensed open source project based on memcached, Membase and CouchDB technologies aiming to storage data flexible, fast and reliable. Jan Lehnardt, Co-Founder of Couchbase, introduces the architecture, as well as features of CouchDB and demonstrates integration challenges and solutions. You’ll see how it all works under the hood.
 

Olaf Bachmann – The Google-Case

While the whole world seems to be thinking about NoSQL, Google now will be returning to SQL. As you can imagine, they wouldn’t do so without a purpose. And seemingly Google will not be the only company that prefers to manage its data repositories with SQL. Don’t miss the “No-NoSQL” presentation by Google’s Olaf Bachmann to find out the backgrounds.
 

Peter Neubauer – Fun&Pun with Graphs

With property graph databases and NoSQL coming into vogue over the last years, the interest in graph algorithms, graph processing and recommender systems has seen a lot of attention. Peter will show basic recommendation algos, spreading activation and min/max flow calculations on live demo graphs – be aware that things might break, but fun and pun is guaranteed.

You won’t get just coffee. You’ll get magic in a cup!

 
 
Okay, here’s some trivia. For coffee in a perfect condition the contact time between hot water and freshly powdered coffebeans has to be 25 seconds. Admittedly, the first time we heard of that, was when a barista told us. So we’re quite happy to have a coffee-expert at NoSQL matters…
 
 

Thank You for Your Abstracts!

 
The NoSQL matters call of papers ended in February and our program-committee received a whole load of suggestions. Thanks to all for sending us such great proposals.
With all the excellent ideas that reached us, it has been a beautiful but hard task for our committee to pick out the pearls and arrange a great program. Now that we have selected most of talks, we’ll need to arrange them in such a way, that there is minimal overlap between the tracks!
 
 
 

Next Newsletter coming soon

 
There’s happening a lot these days, so we also got a lot on our plate to tell you! Sign up in the reminder-field above to find out how an international conference evolves and how we keep working on NoSQL matters!
 
 
 

We’re on Google+

 
The last weeks have been really exctiting, so we started an account at Google+ to let you know more about NoSQL matters! Follow us there to network with other attendees and check our Twitter account @nosqlmatters, to receive short updates immediately.
