What is ARG?

Amphora Research Group (ARG) was established in 2001 at the Department of Computer Science, FEI, VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava. The intention was to form an organized research unit specialized in topics of Information Retrieval (IR) and other related disciplines. 

Fields of interest

The ARG research activities relate mostly to applications in Information Retrieval (in the broad meaning). 
We deal with the following particular areas:
Odrážka Data Indexing And Storage
Odrážka Data Modeling
Odrážka Data Compression
Odrážka Text Retrieval
Odrážka Multimedia and Multidimensional Databases
Odrážka XML
Odrážka Data Security
Odrážka Parallelism

Members

ARG members are professors working at the Department of Computer Science and their Ph.D. students.
