The InterBase Laboratory exists to create partnerships between
business, industry, and university researchers. The lab supports
database software development and assists businesses and
organizations in the development and application of database
technology.
The long-term objective of the InterBase Lab is to advance the
state-of-the-art in large systems integration. This includes
integrating multimedia data and information into a single system,
integrating multiple autonomous components into a global system,
and utilizing progress in new technologies such as data
replicators, data warehouses, multidatabase systems, and workflow
systems to improve the quality of data. Further, it is the goal of
this effort to involve the business processes and interoperability
questions in order to improve data consistency and customer
satisfaction. Current research includes video data modelling,
ubiquitous data and information access, and data
reconciliation.
