Tijs van der Storm and Jurgen Vinju of CWI's SWAT group collaborate in a consortium that has been awarded research funding by the European Commission. The funding of 4.5M euro will be used for the project called "Polyglot and Hybrid Persistence Architectures for Big Data Analytics" (TYPHON).The funding has been made available in the context of Horizon 2020*, and more specifically for the research theme Big data PPP: research addressing main technology challenges of the data economy.
The aim of the awarded research project of the TYPHON consortium is to provide a methodology and integrated technical offering for designing,
developing, querying, and evolving scalable architectures for persistence, analytics and monitoring of large volumes of hybrid (relational, graph-based, document-based, natural language etc.) data. This will allow organizations to address the increasing need to balance data consistency and availability concerns across heterogeneous types of storage solutions.
TYPHON brings together research partners with a long track record of conducting internationally-leading research on software modeling,
domain-specific languages, text mining, and data migration, as well as industrial partners active in the automotive (Volkswagen), earth
observation, banking (Alpha Bank), and motorway operation domains. CWI SWAT's specific role will involve designing and implementing a query language for hybrid polystore querying.
