THEME 2 - Big Data Racetrack: We have lots of data in the RRSG group, these topics are about getting the data processed quicker. Projects involve algorithm implementation, performance benchmarking, and networking topology and routing experiments, both to get the own data processing infrastructure in our research group better sorted and to provide advice for other organizations in similar situations.
