Congratulations to Mathieu Groenen for successfully completing his Master's Project with the title "Reproducible And Distributed Heterogeneous Data Landscapes”. In his work, he presented an orchestration architecture for creating and managing complex distributed heterogeneous data landscapes, including the connection of various data sources through stream processing systems, providing a framework for comparing and analyzing different workloads. #HeterogenousData #StreamProcessing Databases and Information Systems Group, University of Basel Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel Universität Basel

Congratulations to Henrik Lümkemann for successfully completing his Bachelor's thesis with the title "Spatio-Temporal Search in Lifelog Data”. In his work, he extend the multimedia retrieval system vitrivr to better support lifelogging data by focusing on the extraction, storage, and querying of geo-temporal metadata from media files, which was evaluated in a user study. #MultiMediaRetrieval #vitrivr #geodata #spatialdata #temporaldata Databases and Information Systems Group, University of Basel Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel Universität Basel

This years group retreat to Gersbach (DE) included various interesting presentations from group members, engaging discussions about ongoing research and upcoming projects. A definite highlight was the visit to the incredible Erdmanns cave, one of the oldest stalactite cave in Germany, where we explored the underground world. #DBIS #ResearchRetreat Databases and Information Systems Group, University of Basel Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel University of Basel

Congratulations to Nico Bachmann for successfully completing his Bachlor’s thesis with the title “Drawing Attack Graphs for Multi-Component Systems”. In his work he developed a method to formally model multi-component systems using symbolic execution and attack graphs, enabling engineers to analyze how failures propagate and identify critical vulnerabilities.

Congratulations to Roman Ostermiller for completing his Bachelor's Thesis with the title "Automated Schema Discovery on Heterogenous Data Stores”. In his thesis he addresses the challenge of simplifying schema integration in Polypheny by developing an automated schema discovery mechanism, extending data store adapters, and exploring discovery techniques for non-relational systems. #Database #PolyDBMS #Polypheny Databases and Information Systems Group, University of Basel Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel Universität Basel

Congratulations to Lars Schneider for successfully completing his Bachelor’s thesis with the title “Enhanced Object Detection with Multimedia Retrieval in Mixed Reality”. In his work, he integrated information retrieval into a mixed reality application to provide detailed contextual information about detected objects, such as event details from posters or product specifications for physical items. #MixedReality #MultimediaRetrieval #DBIS Databases and Information Systems Group, University of Basel Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel Universität Basel

Congratulations to Rahel Arnold, who recently defended her title and became once again Swiss Champion in the compulsory category in roller figure skating! Very well done, Rahel!
