Research Areas

With the dawn of the information age arose the problem of dealing with huge quantities of heterogeneous data. Not only are there numerous data bases and information systems available locally nowadays, but information is spread over the internet with access worldwide. The aim of our group is the development of new intelligent methods and techniques to deal with this problem. In particular, we are performing research in the following areas:

• Case base reasoning
• Data mining and machine learning to structure information
• Intelligent information retrieval through the internet
• Multi-agents and softbots for intelligent data processing
• Spatial information systems in general and GIS in particular
