Research Spotlight

ach month, the Computer Science web-page provides an in-depth look at the current activities within IBM Research on a selected research area. Our pick of the month is: Data Management : IBM Research has produced major contributions to the area of data management for more than three decades. This includes E. F. Codd's seminal work on relational algebra; the System R relational database management system prototype (which led to IBM's DB2®); ARIES transaction recovery and logging; Starburst extensible database technology, and DB2 parallel database technology. Today, we continue to explore new data management technology in the areas of data warehousing, object-relational features, digital libraries, multimedia content management, federated databases, and integration of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, as well as the emerging areas of e-commerce, Internet, and mobile applications.
