Abstract:Storing Personal Information Management (PIM) data is not trivial, because of the variety in content types. Existing PIM storage systems have shortcomings in performance, data concistency and/or concurrency. In this thesis, we propose several optimisations and test them in Akonadi, KDE’s new central PIM data access manager. The optimisations include using the D-Bus protocol for transmitting short commands and notifications and an IMAP-compatible protocol for data access and modification. The PIM data is kept in its native format, but compressed and split up into separate, frequently-used parts for increased performance. Both the synthetic and use case based evaluation results show that the proposed modifications perform well and help maintain data consistency in Akonadi.
