Abstract

The Max-Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF) is one of 80 institutes of the Max-Planck Society, Germany's premier scientific organization for foundational research with numerous Nobel prizes in natural sciences and medicine. MPI-INF hosts about 150 researchers (including graduate students) and comprises 5 research groups on algorithms and complexity, programming logics, computational biology and applied algorithmics, computer graphics, and databases and information systems (DBIS). This report gives an overview of the DBIS group's mission and ongoing research.
