Abstract
The database group at the University of Washington (UW) was founded in 1998 when the department hired Alon Halevy (now at Google). The group currently consists of about twenty researchers: three faculty members (the authors), four postdocs, and fifteen students. Alumni include faculty members at Computer Science Departments at British Columbia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Stanford, UMass, Wisconsin, one faculty member at the CMU Tepper School of Business, and several researchers and engineers at Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Twitter, and other technology companies. The group has funding from NSF, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and several companies including Amazon, EMC, Google, HP, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Yahoo. The group has been recognized through several best paper awards and two ACM SIGMOD Best Dissertation Awards. We conduct research mostly in small groups and tackle a diverse set of data management challenges. Some of our projects result from collaborations with domain scientists on the UW campus; others are sparked by novel theoretical breakthroughs that lead to new approaches to data management challenges; many are the results of both. We give here a short overview of the recent research themes in our group; more details are available on our website:
