Scalable Database Systems

  The Scalable Database Systems group at the IBM T.J.Watson Research Center is investigating fundamental research issues for the next generation of highly scalable, high performance database and decision support systems.

Our research interest includes:

• Query Processing and Algorithms: Sorting, Block-Oriented Processing, better indexing.
•  Data Warehousing: MultiDimensional Clustering, Aggregations,  Load and Purge.
• Database architecture issues:  Large-Memories, Tertiary Storage, NUMA & COMA.
•  Parallel Database Issues:  we architected IBM's DB2 Parallel Edition Product.
• Web and Semi-Structured databases: XML repositiories, distributed XML query processing.
•  Client-Server Data Issues: Web and database interaction, caching issues.
•  Scalable data mining: Algorithms, performance,  and new applications in E-Commerce.
