Evolution and quality management in dynamic data integration systems


Goals.

The project overall objective is the development of techniques, algorithms and tools to provide support for the evolution and quality management in data integration systems. Different types of data integration systems will be considered for this project, including well structured ones, as mediation systems, and less structured ones as peer data management systems.

The mains goals of the project are described as follows:
1. Establishment of the fundamentals concerning the data quality evaluation and system maintenance in the context of dynamic data integration systems;
2. Specification of a generic process for the management of system’s evolution, considering the problem of the change event detection and data quality evaluation;
3. Implementation of a prototype to realize experiments to validate the proposed solutions;
4. Analysis of the solutions’ performance and eventual optimization techniques proposal.
