Humanized Database Systems

提出的研究计划的目标是研究算法，用户界面（UI）设计和系统级实现，以实现一个{\em人性化数据库系统}。特别是，我们建议从以用户为中心的方法重新审视面向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，数据的可视化和汇总，自动模式推理，信息提取和数据源集成在移动设备和云服务器的运行时环境。

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.
