"Those who have met Hasso Plattner have found the experience exhilarating. His mind produces a steady stream of questions, ideas, and probing analysis. Most conversations begin with an invitation to attack and challenge the ideas he is setting forth. Doing battle with Hasso is a unique pleasure. The goal of this book is to recreate something of that experience for the reader." –From the Introduction 
Thinkers like Hasso Plattner have always stretched the boundaries of the possible. Refusing to accept the limitations of so-called reality, they ask "What if…?" and then give form and substance to the solutions they envision. 
Aided by observations from the greatest technological and business minds of our time, this book recognizes Hasso’s accomplishments as it relates the history of the real-time enterprise and invites you to share in its future. 
You’ll review SAP’s vision for real-time technology, analyze the transformation produced by client/server computing and the all-pervasive network, explore the interaction between organizational structure and the capabilities of real time, and recognize the challenge confronting user interfaces and human/computer interaction. Finally, you will observe how the emerging nervous system of RFIDs, voice recognition, virtual collaborative environments, and other leading-edge technologies is shaping our world. 
You will discover how applications must evolve today to meet the challenges of the real-time enterprise tomorrow. It’s an incredibly exciting evolution of understanding and practice, and you are invited to be part of it.

A Course in In-Memory Data Management: The Inner Mechanics of In-Memory Databases

Recent achievements in hardware and software development, such as multi-core CPUs and DRAM capacities of multiple terabytes per server, enabled the introduction of a revolutionary technology: in-memory data management. This technology supports the flexible and extremely fast analysis of massive amounts of enterprise data. Professor Hasso Plattner and his research group at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany, have been investigating and teaching the corresponding concepts and their adoption in the software industry for years.
This book is based on the first online course on the openHPI e-learning platform, which was launched in autumn 2012 with more than 13,000 learners. The book is designed for students of computer science, software engineering, and IT related subjects. However, it addresses business experts, decision makers, software developers, technology experts, and IT analysts alike. Plattner and his group focus on exploring the inner mechanics of a column-oriented dictionary-encoded in-memory database. Covered topics include - amongst others - physical data storage and access, basic database operators, compression mechanisms, and parallel join algorithms. Beyond that, implications for future enterprise applications and their development are discussed. Readers are lead to understand the radical differences and advantages of the new technology over traditional row-oriented disk-based databases.
