Information systems and big data

In the area of models and technologies for data and knowledge management, the research at DISI is based on decades of experience on relational and object-oriented databases and focuses on the analysis of large data collections (data warehouse design, knowledge extraction by means of business intelligence and data mining tools, Big Data management and analysis), on the effective and efficient treatment of unconventional data (such as multimedia, uncertain, or unstructured data, like those coming from Semantic Web sources, or from textual sources, e.g., Web pages, documents, etc.), on distributed online stream processing media with very high callability and differentiated quality requirements, on the study of self-organizing distributed information systems, and on the management of temporal aspects in databases.
