SIS Research Area - Data Management & Analytics

Overview

The digital information of an enterprise contains structured data (e.g. relational database), semi-structured data (e.g. a web site), and unstructured data (e.g. audio stream and natural language text). Beyond enterprise systems, massive amounts of data are generated by users through mobile, Web, and Web 2.0. The Data Management and Analytics group in SIS investigates techniques for storing and retrieving those diverse data types in a secure and scalable manner. We also work on data mining and knowledge discovery mechanisms that turn the data collections into knowledge that can be exploited for business advantages.
