Today I presented the demo paper “FASTER State Management for Timely Dataflow” at the BIRTE workshop co-located with VLDB. This is the result of joint work with my supervisors for my Master’s thesis: Vasiliki Kalavri and John Liagouris. You can check out the paper here.

I also attended many interesting talks at VLDB. My personal highlights being the following:

  • Megaphone: Latency-conscious state migration for distributed streaming dataflows
  • SLOG: Serializable, Low-latency, Geo-replicated Transactions
  • An Experimental Evaluation of Garbage Collectors on Big Data Applications
