 Data and Knowledge Engineering Research Division

Welcome to the DKE Web Site, the site of the Data and Knowledge Engineering Research Division in the School of Information Tecnology and Electrical Engineering, University of Queensland.

In this page you can find links to the member of the group as well to the activities, events, seminars, events, and the research carried out in the division.

The main areas of research of the group include, multimedia and spatial data management, data quality, data mining, business process management, conceptual modelling, peep to peer, RFID. Please visit the pages of the members for more information about the projects we are involved with and the specific research topics.

The group is also the headquarter of the ARC Research Network Enterprise Information Infrastructure, and we are involved in the eResearch project.

The group is responsible for the teaching of the INFS coded courses offered by the School of ITEE.
