With
carrying out my own database research wanted to find out how many database
research groups exist. I have found that quite a large number of
database research groups worldwide exist.
A
few of the ones I have discovered are
European
database research groups
The
group is to increase the usefulness of database systems to users by creating,
extending, and applying database technology. They are located in Redmond,
Washington, which is in the greater Seattle area.
The
Microsoft Jim Gray Systems Lab is a collaborative effort between Microsoft and
the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that
started in March 2008.
They
have been conducting database related research for almost 30 years
Berkeley
has led database systems research for over a quarter century. Their research
covers new challenges in data management, as well as data-centric approaches to
diverse areas including distributed systems, programming languages, statistical
computation, human computing and interaction, and technology for developing
regions.
The
University of Washington's database group aims at broadening the focus of
database and data management techniques beyond their traditional scope. They
do both theoretical and systems work in areas such as probabilistic databases,
stream processing, sensor-based monitoring, databases and the web, XML, data
management for ubiquitous computing, data integration, and data mining.
