The Database Research Group in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Michigan - Dearborn has strong faculty members who are active in the database area. They conduct innovative research in database management systems and related areas. Their research projects have been funded by various federal and industrial sponsors including the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), Michigan Life Science Corridor, IBM Corporation, and Ford Motor Company. The faculty members in the group have published research results in refereed quality journals and conference proceedings including ACM Transactions on Database Systems, ACM Transactions on Information Systems, IEEE Transactions on Data and Knowledge Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, the VLDB Journal, Information Systems, Data and Knowledge Engineering, Distributed and Parallel Databases, Pattern Recognition, International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB), IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE), and IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Computing and Systems (ICMCS). They actively participate in professional activities including serving on the editorial boards for various technical journals and magazines (e.g., IEEE Multimedia, Multimedia Tools and Applications, International Journal of Semantic Computing) and serving as program/organizing committee members/chairs for numerious international conferences (e.g., ICDE, DEXA, WISE, WAIM, ACM Multimedia, etc).

With emerging standards such as dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) designated for vehicle-to-vehicle communications and roadside-to-vehicle communications, cars will soon be able to communicate with each other. This enables a new class of communications applications that can support future transportation systems and needs. Located in Motown, we are working to rapidly adapt these technologies for the transportation industry. Several faculty members at the University of Michigan-Dearborn have teamed together to establish the Vehicular Networking Systems Research Laboratory. The goal of this laboratory is to provide a dedicated environment for interdisciplinary experimental research in wireless networking and mobile computing in order to develop expertise in both the theoretical and applied aspects of wireless networking and mobile computing within the context of automotive applications.
