Chair of Databases

Further Information

Team Lead

The Database Research Group (Chair of Databases) is chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Lehner who is also the director of the Institute of Systems Architecture. The acquisition, storage and efficient evaluation of mostly empirically collected mass data - following a holistic approach regarding the use of statistical methods reaching up to aspects of the systems technology - are in the focus of his research. Since 2021, he has been receiving DFG-funding by the Reinhart Koselleck program for outstanding researchers with a proven scientific track record. In February 2023, he was appointed as member of the German Science and Humanities Council.

Your course of study

In the center of the teaching activities of the Database Research Group is the introduction of students to the basics and the more advanced aspects of data management. Two lectures for the basic training are targeting different groups of students: „Data Management Foundations“ for students of Computer Science and related courses of study, and „Database Engineering“ for students of other faculties. A wide range of lectures, seminars, practical courses, and exercises on data management complement the teaching portfolio.

Research

The Database Research Group conducts a variety of different research projects ranging from basic and mostly theoretic research questions to practical application. Research projects are integral components of research schemes of TU Dresden and receive third-party funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG), Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Federal Ministry for Transport and Digital (BMDV), and the EU amongst others. A strong research partnership exists with businesses on a regional, national, and international level, i.e. with the SAP HANA developoment teams in Walldorf, Waterloo (Canada), and Seoul (South-Korea).

Dresden Database Research Group

Teaching and research at the Chair of Databases - the Dresden Database Research Group - are focussing on expanding data management methods as well as optimizing system relevant implementation of database management systems.

Thus, the general goal of our research is to develop database management systems to become a central integration and analysis platform. The numerous research projects pursue this goal in a variety of ways, for example by research on HW/SW CoDesign as well as by modelling large complex structures and processes in application scenarios.

The aim of teaching is to lay a solid foundation regarding basic knowledge as well as to introduce students to more advanced topics of data management and analytical evaluation up to hardware oriented optimization.

The research group is commited to the concept of ethical research and is thus following the principles of Open Science - from Open Access up to Open Source and Open Data.
