Welcome to the Database Group of the Department
of Computer Science at the University
of Toronto.
The group studies a broad array of topics involving the efficient,
effective use of large collections of information. Our
projects
cover both core database systems issues such as query processing and indexing
along with new applications such as genetic data management, data mining,
and Internet-based information systems.
We have a vibrant graduate
program that has produced a long, distinguished set of alumni
active in database research and related areas. Our alumni have served on
the faculties of major research universities including Carnegie Mellon,
Harvard, the University of Maryland and Waterloo, and have led and participated
in database research efforts in influential industry research labs including
Microsoft, SRI, AT&T Labs, GTE, and IBM.
On June 16, 2005, we suffered the tragic loss
of our dear friend and
leader, Alberto Mendelzon. A draft of a tribute to
Alberto to appear in the SIGMOD Record December 2005 issue: In Memoriam
Alberto Oscar Mendelzon.
On October 4, 2005, we suffered a second tragic loss
of the wise Ken Sevick. A brief remembrance of Ken.
