We are part of the Institute of Computer Science at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
This research group focuses on the design and implementation of novel methods and systems for the efficient management, processing, analysis, and interpretation of data. This includes the adaptation of established database management concepts to modern (hardware/software) environments, the design of unconventional processing models (e.g. blockchains), and the transactional and analytical processing of very large and potentially differently structured data sets (OLTP/OLAP). In doing so, the working group does not only consider individual components and processes of these topics in isolation, but always focuses on the combination of individual components to build an efficient overall system.
