IntroductionDatabases are used by everyone, everyday without most people actually thinking aobut it. Everytime a person uses their bank card they are accessing a Database. The current research into databases systems is to increase the usefulness of database sytems to users by creating, extending, and applying database technology.

Model Management
The goal of this research is to make database systems easier to use for model driven applicaitons such as design tools and message translators. Current research concetrates oon algorithms for matching, mergin, and generating models.
Phoenix (Microsoft)
The goal of this research is to improve the availability of applicaitons, and the error handling robustness of aplications. System crashes can be catastrphic, and this research concentrates on database recovery techniques so that applications can survive system crashes. This is vital in fields where mission critical applications can have fatal consequences such as in Health Care.
