The research group Querying, Indexing, and Discovery in Dynamic Data (QID3) is primarily focused on frequently changing data, in particular streaming data of various kinds, but also on distributed systems, and dynamic structures such as network topologies etc. One goal is to devise novel methods for index creation and maintenance against the background of changing data. Efficient query processing in such a setting is a cross-topic challenge that touches various research aspects from information retrieval information discovery over data management to distributed systems and peer-to-peer topologies.
