The School of Computer Science (SCS) is at the forefront of database research. SCS had six papers at the top databases conference, Very Large Data Bases (VLDB).

“This is the first time in the history of VLDB that we have had such a diverse and dominating presence at the conference,” said SCS Professor Shamkant Navathe. “We hope to continue this tradition of a strong presence at VLDB in the coming years."

These publications encompass many of SCS’s top research areas, including databases, systems, networking, security, and architecture.

“We have papers spanning a wide array of topics including graph systems, cloud computing, video analytics, similarity search, and database fuzzing,” said SCS Assistant Professor Joy Arulraj.
