Welcome to the Databases and Information Systems (DBIS) Group at the University of Basel

The main focus of the DBIS group is the development of novel database concepts and their application to large-scale distributed information systems, in particular to Data Management in the Cloud, Multimedia Information Retrieval, and Service-oriented Architectures & Process-based Systems (Workflows). From a technical perspective, this includes aspects of distribution, reliability, scalability, mobility, heterogeneity, dynamic adaptability, and semantics. The results of this work are applied to various fields like Crowdsourcing applications, e-Health or e-Science.

At the end of the year, the DBIS research group would like to thank all group members, project partners, students and the many helping hands in the administration for their great cooperation. We wish everyone Happy Holidays and a great start into a hopefully happy, healthy and peaceful 2025

We’re happy to finally share the results of our special photography session of this year’s Databases and Information Systems Group, University of Basel BBQ, which used technology from the 1880. The wait was well worth it, and the final prints beautifully capture the charm of historical photography.
