ARC North America
Inventing the future of Business Intelligence
The 2009 ARC Fellowship competition for North America that funds graduate student reearch in BI opened October 1 and has proposals due by November 2.
The Academic Research Center (ARC) for North America is based in Vancouver. It receives guidance from an Advisory Board with representation from both academia and business.
Topics actively being investigated with research partners include
- Exploring multi-touch technologies for business intelligence (BI) applications;
- Simplifying methods to share, integrate, and visualize private and public data together;
- Minimizing data exchanges while synchronizing databases;
- Searching metadata to assist with data integration;
- Improving on methods to view the structure, symmetry, and layout of graphical data;
- Defining new technologies to support collaborative decision-making for BI;
- Finding new ways to provide summary information while exploring data warehouses;
- Augmenting methods for automated testing, especially in relation to graphical outputs;
- Expanding on distributed testing environments; and
- Optimizing global caches when load-balancing online accesses to semantic objects.
