Penn Database Group

Welcome to the Penn Database Group's Web Site! As one of the top database research groups in the US, Penn has made many fundamental contributions to the field -- particularly in areas relating to scientific data management, Web data management, and data provenance. Our research spans from theory to systems and applications, and connects to other research areas within Penn's CIS Department (such as machine learning, programming languages, logic and computation, and approximation algorithms). Within the University, we also collaborate frequently with the Institute for Biomedical Informatics, the Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics, and the Warren Center for Network and Data Science.
