Research Interests
Chang-Tien Lu received the MS degree in computer science from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, in 1996 and the PhD degree in computer science from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, in 2001. He is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and is the founding director of the Spatial Lab. He served as Program Co-Chair of the 18th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence in 2006, and as General Co-Chair of the 20th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence in 2008 and 17th ACM International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems in 2009. He is also serving as Secretary of the newly formed ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). His research interests include spatial databases, data mining, data warehousing, geographic information systems, and intelligent transportation systems.
Spatial Data Management LabURL: http://spatial.nvc.cs.vt.edu/ Research on spatial and spatio-temporal data management is to fulfill the emerging requirements for storing, analyzing, exchanging, and disseminating spatial and spatio-temporal data in many GIS applications. Projects range from general spatial and spatio-temporal data management, such as the indexing structure, query processing, and concurrency control, to applications that deal with data analysis and knowledge discovery tasks, such as transportation visualization, watershed monitoring, disease outbreak analysis, geospatial web service, and web usage mining. The outputs of these projects have not only brought out high quality research papers and demos, but also helped the professionals in many fields, such as transportation managers and watershed engineers, to take efficient responses and make effective decisions. |
