Cloud Database Management Systems

The emergence and popularization of the cloud computing paradigm, invented by internet giants in 2006 and standardized in 2011, is a native evolutionary reflection of the IT trend to concentrate computing resources across with simplification, becoming computing a utility, as like as an electric power supply became a utility when emerged large power plants and wide power grids. Contemporaneously, there was raised the challenge to create database management systems, provisioned in the cloud model, as a service for multiple consumers, which used shared resource pool; such type of cloud service named similary with other cloud service models — Database as a Service, DBaaS. By 2013, the market of cloud database management systems has been actually filled with commercial-ready products, some of them deliverable by subscribtion model via Web, as well with the packaged products for self-deployment on premise, allows to enterprises to build their own clouds. Also, by 2013 we observe a certain amount of research papers and several concepts how to build an efficient cloud database.
This workshop is dedicated to compressed and systematic view on history, current status and prospectives of cloud database management systems. We outline a scope of DBaaS based on generally accepted definitions, classify DBaaS solutions, overview products and services of main vendors. We notice most notable publications, pick out key researchers and their outcomes. Also we review key technical solutions, used to provide cloud properties.
Finally, we overview related technologies, affecting on emerging and progress of cloud database management systems, devote tendencies and prospects.
