CSE 593: Transaction Processing , Winter 1997


CSE 593 Project Descriptions

The main goal of the project is to allow you to dig a little deeper into some aspect of transaction processing (TP) of interest to you. Here are several project ideas:

Project Options

  • 1. Analyze a TP application and installation currently in production. Interview the application designers, users, and system managers. Write up what you learned.
  • 2. Design and implement a TP application using a TP monitor. Keep it simple enough to get an end-to-end system working well enough to run a demo. If possible, do a little performance measurement. Only a short write-up is required to summarize what you have done, as long as the code is readable.
  • 3. Read and synthesize several related papers on some aspect of TP, and write up the results. I am happy to help you select appropriate papers on a topic of interest.
  • 4. If you have access to documentation on a TP monitor not covered in Chapter 5 of the textbook, read the documentation and write a description of at least comparable detail.
  • 5. Distributed Transactional Applications in Java.
