Distributed Information Systems
Due to the development of information networks, it became possible to utilize information-bases distributed all over the world.
Since database is one of the key technology for organizing large systems, data engineering including database design, query processing, transaction processing, and security are studied. As one of the important applications of database technologies, distributed cooperative systems are developed. Together with distributed systems research, applications to XML document processing, information retrieval, multimedia information system, Web mining, access control and privacy are investigated.
