Institut Für Informationsysteme Globis ETH Zürich

Abstract

Society is facing a radical change both in terms of the volume of information that we have access to and can manipulate, as well as the ways in which we can exchange this information. The Institute for Information Systems at ETH Zurich has a long tradition in research and education in classic areas of information science and engineering such as information models, databases and information retrieval. To meet the requirements of the new information society, the researchers are also dealing with technologies for web engineering, personal information systems, mobile and collaborative information environments and large-scale information filtering services.
