Humanized Database Systems

建议的研究计划的目标是调查算法，用户界面（UI）的设计和系统级实现向{\em人性化的数据库系统}。特别是，我们建议从以用户为中心的方法重新审视下一代个人计算环境的数据库技术的许多方面。我们感兴趣的方面，包括但不限于，查询接口，可视化和汇总数据，自动模式推理，信息提取和集成的数据源的运行时环境中的移动的设备和服务器在云中。

The objective of the proposed research program is to investigate algorithms, user interface (UI) design and system level implementation toward a {\em humanized database system}. In particular, we propose to revisit many aspects of the database technology for the next generation of personal computing environment from an user-centric approach. We are interested in aspects including, but not limited to, query interfaces, visualization and summarization of data, automatic schema inference, information extraction and integration of data sources in the runtime environments of mobile devices and servers in the cloud.
