Database Research Group

Who we are

Database Research Group

Founded in 1989 by Professor Carlos Roberto Valêncio, the Database Research Group, better known as GBD from the portuguese name Grupo de Banco de Dados, is an important research group from São Paulo State University (Unesp), Institute of Biosciences, Humanities and Exact Sciences (Ibilce), Campus São José do Rio Preto.

Goals

The GBD aims to develop technologies related to databases modeling and management, as well as conduct relevant research on advanced database issues, such as knowledge discovery in databases, data mining, text mining, data cleaning and others. We also work in the development of relevant information systems for partners who need an efficient data management, such as hospitals and universities.

Mission

Our mission is to create effective human resources through research and scientific and technological development, as well as contribute with the academic field and the society itself. Acting in different fields, researchers, PhD, MSc and undergraduate students can develop their personal skills, such as ethics, professionalism, personal relationships and leadership.
