This tutorial will be based on our recently published book, High-Performance Parallel Database Processing and Grid Databases (John Wiley & Sons, 2008). The sizes of databases have seen exponential growth in the past and such growth is expected to accelerate in the future, with the steady drop in storage cost accompanied by a rapid increase in storage capacity. To effectively manage such volumes of data, it is necessary to allocate multiple resources to it, very often massively so. The processing of databases of such astronomical proportions requires an understanding of how high performance systems and parallelism work. Besides the massive volume of data in the database to be processed, some data has been distributed across the globe in a Grid environment. This important new book provides readers with a fundamental understanding of parallelism in data-intensive applications, and demonstrates how to develop faster capabilities to support them. It features not only the algorithms for database operations, but also quantitative analytical models, so that performance can be analyzed and evaluated more effectively.

This tutorial provides an overview about industrial service processes and the usage of
mobile solutions for process optimization.
Many companies could succesfully improve their field service processes with using
mobile technologies and applications. In most of the cases, it remains unclear how the
companies made decisions regarding what kind of mobile solutions fit to their service
processes. Many times, companies use a technology-driven approach, e.g., they take an
exisiting mobile solution and apply it to their service processes. As a result, the service
processes have to be adapted according to the functionality of the mobile solution.
Furthermore, the technology itself does not necessarily lead to an optimization but rather
to misinvestments because of an ignorance of process and user needs. In this tutorial, a
process-oriented procedure model will be presented, which enables the identification of
requirements of service processes and derived optimization possibilities using mobile
technologies. The proposed model has been evaluated in a service division of ABB where
there has been an introduction of a mobile solution based on the application of the
process-oriented procedure model.
