ADVIS Lab
The
ADVances in Information Systems Research Laboratory (ADVIS Lab) is part of the
Department of Computer Science,
College of Engineering at the
University of Illinois at Chicago. ADVIS hosts students doing research in computer information management systems with particular emphasis on
database and
information systems and related issues such as:
semantic web (and in particular
semantic data integration and
semantic desktop),
geospatial information systems, context-aware systems, information visualization (including
graph drawing),
retrieval and presentation of multimedia information, and
information retrieval and classification.
This research lab has existed since 1994 (first with the name
DBVIS, for
Data
base
Visualization) and after 1997 with the current name, reflecting the fact that we focus on all types of information and not only on information that can be stored in and retrieved from traditional database systems. The group has comprised several PhD, MS, and BS students collaborating in research and publishing papers in competitive international conferences and in journals. Over the years, the group has regularly sponsored the visit of several leading US and European researchers and of postdocs.
The group has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, NATO, CRA, and corporate gifts.
