CAREER: Towards Sensor Database Systems

Investigators

Abstract

The research project will develop a distributed data management system for managing sensor data. Specifically it will develop an infrastructure for a sensor data management system as well as techniques for processing queries over data streams. It will also develop data models for handling new data types inherent in sensor data. The techniques will be demonstrated in a working prototype. This prototype will be used for research and education purposes in sensor data management. The career development plan will include the use of "active learning" for teaching. In this method, teachers involve students in presenting material through in-class exercises, open questions, as well as working in three-minute in-class two or three member group projects.
