Current projects include building main-memory systems bridging the gap between transactional and analytical tools (project in partnership with MIT and the Hasso Plattner Institute), designing new algorithms to mine very large Web logs (in cooperation with VeriSign), and devising new techniques to store and process very large scientific arrays (with MIT, as part of the SciDB project http://www.scidb.org ). New projects focusing on the Social Web and the Data Web will begin shortly, in partnership with leading companies and universities in Europe.

The lab is hosted by the Faculty of Science at the University of Fribourg. The faculty is currently experiencing a formidable expansion and recently received the largest-ever donation made to a Swiss university. Ideally situated in the heart of Switzerland and at the foot of the Alps, the city of Fribourg lies on the linguistic border between the French and German-speaking parts of the country.
