Objectives

To BUILD DEPLOYABLE systems and SPIN off

CDAS -- A Crowdsourcing Data Analytics System. 2012-- (funded by MSRA and FRC Grant)

LogBase: A Log Structure Only Distributed Data Management System. 2012- (funded by ASTAR)

Design and Development of a Comprehensive Information Technology Infrastructure for Data-Intensive Applications and Analysis. 2012-- (funded by NRF CRP grant)

Query processing on fusioned tables. 2010- (funded by Google)

epiC - an Elastic, Power-aware, data-Intensive Cloud platform. 2008-

.

Co-space. 2008- (funded by MDA Singapore)
Application: Marcopolo

SpADE: A SPatio-temporal Autonomic Database Engine for location-aware services (funded by A*STAR 2003-2007) Adaptive B+-tree based indexes and query processing strategies have been designed and incorporated into MySQL, which acts as the database engine.

UTab: A Universal Table inspired storage system for free-and-easy data publishing and sharing. 2005-- (funded by MOE Singapore)

BestPeer 2.0: a peer-to-peer based data management system which supports both structured (BATON)[VLDB2005, SIGMOD2006] and unstructured with supernodes overlays. It is a one-platform multi-structures p2p network that is able to support expansion-based routing in unstructured setting, and DHT-based exact and range-based routing in structured setting. It supports keyword, similarity and attribute based query retrieval. It is designed to provide enterprise-quality data processing capability in corporate networks. It uses JIT and approximate indexing to reduce maintenance cost. The system is built in lego block manner, and each main concept/component is tested on PlanetLab before it is incorporated into BestPeer. Related projects: S3(BestPeer 2.0), and BestPeer Pte Ltd

S3: Scalable, Sharable and Secure P2P Based Data Management System (funded by ASTAR 2007-2010) (BestPeer 2.0)

VIPER: VIsual Property-based search Engine for image Retrieval.1995 - 2003. Spinoff: GeoFoto (1999)

GENESIS: GENomE Sequence Indexing and Searching

RETINA: RETina INformation Analysis

GAtlas: A Geographical Search Engine

DStorM: Distributed Storage Manager. 1992-2001
