| Abstract: |
I will revisit the seminal 1994 paper [1] by Goetz Graefe that describes the parallel Volcano query evaluation model. I will talk about the power of the Volcano model, its relevance to the hardware landscape today (SSDs, in-memory stores, massively multi-core systems), and the engineering challenges of getting it implemented correctly. |

| Abstract: | Various High Availability DataBase systems (HADB) are used to provide high availability. Pairing an active database system with a standby system is one commonly used HADB techniques. The active system serves read/write workloads. One or more standby systems replicate the active and serve read-only workloads. |
