DBS: Database Systems Group
Previous group
Mission
The DBS Group aims at enhancing current DB technologies to support complex query processing and data analysis, in particular for temporal and spatial data. The group is striving for scalable and efficient algorithms with the goal of embedding them into DBMSs. Our research method combines foundational studies with systems engineering and empirical evaluations. The research is driven by real-world applications in different areas.
Relevance
Since the collection, maintenance and processing of data form the backbone of many applications, the competences of a DB group are valuable in many research and industrial projects. From the teaching viewpoint, DB related topics are important in any CS curricula. A dedicated DBS Group increases the visibility of these competences and the obtained research results both in the international research community as well as towards local stakeholders.
