The Information Technology Laboratory or ITLab (part of the CSE Department at UTA ) is actively involved in research and development on all aspects of information technology: modeling, retrieval, management, optimization, scalability and performance evaluation.
The group consists of Profs. Sharma Chakravarthy, Ramez Elmasri, Leonidas Fegaras, Alp Aslandogan, jungHwan Oh, and Gautam Das whose complementary expertise allows them to work independently as well as jointly on a broad set of topics ranging from -- modeling, multi-media DBMSs, systems development, performance evaluation, searching etc. Some of the topics currently being worked on are: Data Warehousing/information integration, Data Mining/Knowledge Discovery, Web Databases, E-commerce, Active/push technology for large network-centric Information Management, and Object-Oriented, Temporal & Heterogeneous databases.
The vision of the group is to carry out both fundamental and practically applicable research and development to enable the use of information technology for diverse needs. The group views interaction and collaboration with industry as critical for identifying fundamental problems in the areas of databases and information technology usage and functionality. Our aim is to identify problems based on the current and future needs and develop formal solutions as well as implement proof-of-principle systems. This approach provides a viable migration path for new techniques/solutions to be integrated into real-life systems/applications.
We are seeking industry collaborators and project partners to pursue solutions to problems that are of interest to IT industry. We are also interested in transferring technology currently available at ITLab to real-life applications.
If you would like to know more about the ITLab and collaboration with us, please contact me at sharma@cse.uta.edu.
Please look around and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Sharma Chakravarthy, Professor
