The Google File System and its application in MapReduce
In the need for a scalable infrastructure supporting storage
and processing of large data sets, Google has developed a number of
cluster-based technologies which include the Google File System (GFS)
and MapReduce.
This paper aims at explaining the key ideas and mechansims deployed
in the Google File System and illustrates the architecture and fault tolerance
features implemented. To highlight the role of the Google File
System in Google’s software landscape, MapReduce as a technology for
data processing that leverages the services provided by GFS is presented.
Along the discussion of these systems, key dierences to other approaches
regarding design and implementation are pointed out.
Seminar Software Design, Winter term 2007/2008, Hasso Plattner Insitute for Software Systems Engineering
Requirements Engineering in the Rational Unified Process
This paper aims at providing an overview of Requirements Engineering in the context of the Rational Unified Process. After a brief introduction to the general concepts of the Rational Unified Process, the requirements-related Disciplines “Business Modeling” and “Requirements” are described in more detail.
Seminar Requirements Engineering, Summer term 2006, Hasso Plattner Insitute for Software Systems Engineering
Prevayler
This paper aims at describing the concepts and objectives of the persistence model Object Prevalence, before presenting and analyzing the implementation of these concepts in Prevayler. In the discussion, comparisons to Relational Database Management Systems, which Prevayler is targeted to be a substitute of, will be drawn.

Wow that was odd. I just wrote an very long comment but
after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m
not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say wonderful blog!

Excellent review I started off with Eco-friendly Smoke and I’ve really recently been enjoying these. Thanks!
These modern day fitness devices are worn about the waist, positioned
right about the abs and then working with what is identified as electronic muscle stimulation.
It’s awesome to pay a quick visit this web site and reading the views of all colleagues concerning this article, while I am also eager of getting familiarity.
