Career

Madden was born and raised in San Diego, California. After completing bachelor's and master's degrees at MIT, he earned a PhD specializing in database management at the University of California Berkeley under Michael Franklin and Joseph M. Hellerstein. Before joining MIT as a tenure-track professor, Madden held a post-doc position at Intel's Berkeley Research center. [5] [6] [7] [8]

Madden has been involved in a number database research projects, including TinyDB, [3] TelegraphCQ, [4] Aurora/Borealis, C-Store, and H-Store. In 2005, at the age of 29 he was named to the TR35 as one of the Top 35 Innovators Under 35 by MIT Technology Review magazine. [9] [10] Recent projects include DataHub - a "github for data" platform that provides hosted database storage, versioning, ingest, search, and visualization (commercialized as Instabase), CarTel - a distributed wireless platform that monitors traffic and on-board diagnostic conditions in order to generate road surface reports, and Relational Cloud - a project investigating research issues in building a database-as-a-service.[ citation needed ] Madden has published more than 250 scholarly articles, with more than 59,000 citations, with an h-index of 101. [11]

In addition, Madden is a co-founder of Cambridge Mobile Telematics [12] and Vertica Systems. Before enrolling at MIT and while an undergraduate student there, Madden wrote printer driver software for Palomar Software, a San Diego-area Macintosh software company. He is also a Technology Expert Partner at Omega Venture Partners. [13] [14]

Awards and recognitions

Madden won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2004 and a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2007. [15] [16]

He received VLDB's best paper award in 2007 and VLDB's test of time award in 2015 for his 2005 paper on C-Store. [17] [18]

He also received a test of time award in SIGMOD 2013 for his 2003 paper The Design of an Acquisitional Query Processor for Sensor Networks. [19]

In 2020 he was named a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. [20]

MonetDB is an open-source column-oriented relational database management system (RDBMS) originally developed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. It is designed to provide high performance on complex queries against large databases, such as combining tables with hundreds of columns and millions of rows. MonetDB has been applied in high-performance applications for online analytical processing, data mining, geographic information system (GIS), Resource Description Framework (RDF), text retrieval and sequence alignment processing.

Online aggregation is a technique for improving the interactive behavior of database systems processing expensive analytical queries. Almost all database operations are performed in batch mode, i.e. the user issues a query and waits till the database has finished processing the entire query. On the contrary, using online aggregation, the user gets estimates of an aggregate query in an online fashion as soon as the query is issued. For example, if the final answer is 1000, after k seconds, the user gets the estimates in form of a confidence interval like [990, 1020] with 95% probability. This confidence keeps on shrinking as the system gets more and more samples.

A sensor network query processor (SNQP), also called a sensorDB, is a user-friendly interface for programming and running applications which translates instructions from declarative programming language with high-level instructions to low-level instructions understood by the operating system. The basic idea of SNQP is the addition of a layer modeling the WSN as a distributed database searchable by a query language similar to SQL.
