Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Design and implement a NoSQL database with one or more front-end applications.
2. Evaluate the applicability of different technical data management strategies for a variety of applications.
3. Explain the essential concepts behind a variety of NoSQL data models, including key-value, document oriented and graph data models.
4. Identify potential security issues raised by the use of NoSQL data management systems to handle massive data volumes with high transaction rates, and suggest mitigating strategies.
Aims
This module gives students practical in information security (MSc Security) and in data mining (MSc Data Science) using modern data management systems.
Brief description
Querying, searching, mining and analyzing very large amounts of data demands procedural and technological approaches that go beyond those typical of relational database systems.
