CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
• Secure DBMS
In this project, we are investigating a number of techniques for securing databases, including secret
sharing/information dispersion, steganography, and anonymous archival. We have developed a steganographic
file system that hides the existence of information as well as data accesses.
z COSMOS.
The goal of the COSMOS (COoperative and Self-tuning Management Of Streaming data) project is to investigate various research
issues arising from managing data streams and provide novel solutions to them.
• BestPeer
This project studies how database and agent technologies can be integrated with peer-to-peer technology into an
adaptive P2P platform for object sharing. We have developed a P2P platform and deployed several applications
(e.g., web caching, databases, OLAP) on top of it.
