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.
BPMN Systems in Medicine	Carlo Combi Roberto Posenato	Using and extending open-source BPMN-based (Business Process Model and Notation) systems to manage healthcare processes.
Machine learning on spatial data	Alberto Belussi Sara Migliorini	This topic is about the study of novel machine learning techniques based on spatial data for estimating approximate queries and cost models.
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.
Process-Aware Information Systems	Carlo Combi Sara Migliorini Barbara Oliboni Elisa Quintarelli	Process-Aware Information Systems is a research field dealing with the management of business processes by taking into account different aspects including ethical issues. Desing and reengineering of business processes, representation and management of temporal aspects of business processes and conceptual representation of processes together with ethical properties and their related data are the some of the possibile topics.
