The Advanced Query Processing Lab develops domain-specific data models and query processing techniques for a range of scientific problem areas. Research focuses on developing expressive data types for scientific data, semantic query evaluation techniques, and exploring the new paradigms for user-steerable query processing required for today's advanced scientific problems. The AQP Lab actively contributes to the semantic and spatial information integration research conducted by other labs in SDSC’s Data Technologies program.

The lab is lead by Amarnath Gupta.
