| The
main goal of the Center for Web Research (CWR) is to perform
basic research on problems related to the Web, focusing on five
specific aspects:
- Management
and search of non traditional information (multimedia, structured,
etc.)
- Data
mining
- Mathematical
modeling of the Web
- Data
extraction from the web
- Distributed
systems and parallelism.
Specifically,
we plan to research on combinatorial pattern matching on images,
audio and text; similarity searching of atomic and structured objects;
handling semistructured information; mathematical simulation of
the process that occur in the Web; and distributed agents and platforms
in Internet. The
CWR becomes a unique opportunity to join in a common project
the efforts of geographically distributed top level researchers.
