Overview
Intelligent Information Systems
The Intelligent Information Systems Research (aka Quest) group designs information systems that enable the preservation of the privacy and ownership of data while not impeding the flow of information. Our work is motivated by the technical challenges posed by the ever-changing computing landscape, whose success is predicated on protecting the privacy, security, and integrity of interactions between individuals and enterprises as well as between enterprises. We do fundamental and visionary research that closely ties with applications, such as identifying and studying new frameworks, models, methodologies, and opportunities.
The team has a solid track record of doing good work. Examples include innovating the initial concepts in data mining; creating data-level technology for enforcing privacy; creating technology to enabling traceability in the RFID network; producing middleware that enables localized mobile device disclosure-compliant information sharing and demonstrating how focused text analytics can change industries.
We ground our work in the Healthcare Informatics space and ensure that our research is applicable across a myriad of other industries. We believe that research must have impact on the enterprise and on people. Thus, we strive to ensure that our work is not only applicable to real problems, but also theoretically sound.

Featured Projects
MONGOOSE technology is the bedrock that enables the construction of data analytics platforms and systems, while allaying the issues associated with ingesting data in an error where failure is the norm and not the exception. Read More
Privacy-Preserving Social Network Analysis
Privacy is currently burdensome for social network users. Keeping track of privacy configurations when settings explode and the number of networks increase is tiresome. Users have no ability to use best practices or transfer settings and most are unaware of the risky behavior they engage in. This project addresses these issues. Read More
