| Abstract |
In this talk, I will give a high-level overview of my past and present
research activities around data management and query processing, mostly
performed at CWI. This encompasses work on hard-core database topics like
analytical database architectures, architecture-conscious query processing
and run-time query optimization, but also P2P XML databases and, more
recently, RDF data management. In passing, I will also describe the two
successful spin-off adventures I embarked on in the past years (Data
Distilleries and VectorWise). The goal of the talk is thus to explain for a
wider audience at VU my background and current interests; which might lead
to new scientific cooperations.
