I am a 4th year PhD student in Database. My current advisor is Prof. Jignesh Patel. I got my
BS from Beijing University of Technology
(BJUT) with the thesis advisor Dr.
Junzhong Ji.
ICDE Source Code Download:
This is the source code of ICDE 2010
and SIGMOD 2008 (Y.Tian and J.Patel). Please
direct all comments and bug reports to me, nzhang at cs.wisc.edu
Data Crawler Download:
The
crawlers of DBLP and IMDB datasets are now available.
Please read the NOTE file in the code package. Also, parsing XML data file
needs DTD file, however, DTD file may not always come with the source data
(Citeseer only provides the XML data, but not DTD file). Fortunately, I
found this DTD generator very
useful when DTD file is not available.
Research:
My
current research focuses on the IO architectures of hybrid storage DBMS, multi-tenancy, cloud storage
and its impact on the total cost of ownership (TCO) and performance.
