This book constitutes revised selected papers from two VLDB workshops: The International Workshop on Polystore Systems for Heterogeneous Data in Multiple Databases with Privacy and Security Assurances, Poly 2022, and the 8th International Workshop on Data Management and Analytics for Medicine and Healthcare, DMAH 2022, which were held virtually on September 9, 2022. The proceedings include 3 full papers each from Poly 2022 and from DMAH 2022. DMAH deals with innovative data management and analytics technologies highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and methods to address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness, with clinical, physiological, imaging, behavioral, environmental, and omic - data, and data from social media and the Web. Poly is focusing on the broader real-world polystore problem, which includes data management, data integration, data curation, privacy, and security.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings for the VLBD conference workshops entitled: Towards Polystores That Manage Multiple Databases, Privacy, Security and/or Policy Issues for Heterogenous Data (Poly 2019) and the Fifth International Workshop on Data Management and Analytics for Medicine and Healthcare (DMAH 2019), held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in August 2019, in conjunction with the 45th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, VLDB 2019. The 20 regular papers presented together with 2 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: Poly 2019: Privacy, Security and/or Policy Issues for Heterogenous Data; Building Polystore Systems. DMAH 2019: Database Enabled Biomedical Research; AI for Healthcare; Knowledge Discovery from Unstructured Biomedical Data; Blockchain and Privacy Preserving Data Management.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of International Workshops: Polystores and other Systems for Heterogeneous Data, Poly 2018, and Data Management and Analytics for Medicine and Healthcare, DMAH 2018, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 2018, held in conjunction with the 44th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, VLDB 2018. The 11 regular papers presented together with 2 invited papers and 1 abstract of a keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 initial submissions. The Poly 2018 Workshop focus on growing a larger and more diverse research agenda around data system solutions for heterogeneous data. The DMAH 2018 Workshop aims to foster exchange of information and discussions on innovative data management and analytics technologies.

Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are a ubiquitous and critical component of modern computing, and the result of decades of research and development in both academia and industry. Architecture of a Database System presents an architectural discussion of DBMS design principles, including process models, parallel architecture, storage system design, transaction system implementation, query processor and optimizer architectures, and typical shared components and utilities. Successful commercial and open-source systems are used as points of reference, particularly when multiple alternative designs have been adopted by different groups. Historically, DBMSs were among the earliest multi-user server systems to be developed, and thus pioneered many systems design techniques for scalability and reliability now in use in many other contexts. While many of the algorithms and abstractions used by a DBMS are textbook material, Architecture of a Database System addresses the systems design issues that make a DBMS work. Architecture of a Database System is an invaluable reference for database researchers and practitioners and for those in other areas of computing interested in the systems design techniques for scalability and reliability that originated in DBMS research and development.
