CDE conducts research in data engineering to develop innovative solutions that meet the market's increasing demands in data and information management solutions.
Satyam and the CDE will work on the Nurture a Research Area programme, which was established to foster collaboration between industry bodies and HIT. The collaboration will focus on research and development in data mining and open source technologies. Additionally, it will leverage the analytics expertise of HIT to uncover business opportunities associated with social networking.
The organizations will also work together to create methodologies and tools to extract knowledge from these networks and develop joint assets. Satyam and the CDE are focusing on data mining, especially where it concerns behavioral and psychographic analysis that will give companies insights into the buying behaviors of their customers, said Swaminathan Srinivasan, head, Bl and PM Solutions & Alliances at Satyam. There is a real need for such solutions today, since most companies are sitting on huge volumes of data but cannot get their arms around it to make meaningful decisions.
Satyam and the CDE have also been working on service-oriented architecture and testing as per a separate agreement between SatyamQEdge team and IIIT-Hyderabad since May 2008, Other areas of focus include databases, query processing, data mining, information retrieval, mobile data dissemination, multi-agent systems, knowledge management and recommendation systems.
