NSF Young Investigator Award

The department is pleased to announce that one of our new faculty, Professor Elke Rundensteiner is the holder of an NSF Young Investigator Award entitled "Object-Oriented Database Tools for Supporting Complex Evolutionary Software Systems".

Abstract

The objective of the this project will be to conduct research in the development of database technology and to meet the challenging requirements of engineering and scientific applications, such as design automation and the Human Genome project. This will also involve graduate students in research projects aimed at developing object-oriented database technology that supports 1) the integration of complex data types, 2) the maintenance of customized database interfaces for individual tools, and 3) the extensibility of the system without disrupting existing database users and tools.
