Research

Our research is currently addressing two main domains:

Database Systems

Data and data management is ubiquitous in today's society and economy. The efficiency, scalability and privacy in the scope of data management is paramount. DBR researches and designs new techniques and systems for the next generation of distributed data management, from the edge and to the cloud, covering the full computing continuum.

Data Interoperability and Applications

The variety of data systems and applications implies a plethora of data formats, standards and protocols that require common management. Interoperability at data and protocol level becomes essential for knowledge extraction, knowledge generation, usage of semantics and polyglot usability. We research and develop middleware systems that are part of wider frameworks for data sovereignty and control as the Data Spaces.
