Topic	People	Description
Data intensive scalable computing	Alberto Belussi Damiano Carra Sara Migliorini	Analysis, evaluation and design of large scale parallel systems, with particular emphasis on scalable data processing, Big Data systems, and Cloud Computing
Semistructured databases	Carlo Combi Barbara Oliboni	This research topic deals with data models and languages for representing and querying semistructured data in a general and flexible way.
Geographical Information Systems & Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI)	Alberto Belussi	Study of new tools and interoperability techniques for supporting the creation and maintenance of spatial data in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) at national or European level (INSPIRE directive).
Process control systems	Matteo Cristani	Process control systems
Conceptual modeling of spatial databases	Alberto Belussi Sara Migliorini	This research topic regards the study of new approaches for the conceptual modeling of geographical databases, with particular emphasis on the spatial integrity constraints specification. In cooperation with Politecnico di Milano and with CISIS (Centro Interregionale per i Sistemi Informatici, geografici e Statistici) a new conceptual data model has been defined and used as Italian standard for the conceptual schema of the National Core database. More details about this project and the GeoUML tools can be found at http://spatialdbgroup.polimi.it/.
Sistemi di raccomandazione	Alberto Belussi Sara Migliorini Elisa Quintarelli	Studio di tecniche per la progettazione e realizzazione di sistemi di raccomandazione.
