Welcome
The Big Data Lab's mission is to support the architecture and engineering of scalable systems that address current and future large-scale data challenges evident in both industrial and scientific environments. Our data-intensive research agenda is pursued by modelling, evaluating and building novel architectures and algorithms based on sound computer science theory.
We are principally engineers and consider robust implementations and real world evaluation a priority. Much of our work follows a multi-disciplinary approach; we work on real world problems at the intersection of Science, Engineering, Finance, and Computer Science.
Current research projects in the Lab include:
- Large-scale distributed systems
- Cloud computing infrastructure
- Service-oriented architectures
- Data-intensive computing
- Financial computing: algorithmic trading strategies, low latency trading
- Semantic Web technologies: linked data
