Abstract:

Graphs are very important parts of Big Data and widely used for modelling
complex structured data with a broad spectrum of applications such as
bioinformatics, web search, social network, road network, etc.  Over the
last decade, tremendous research efforts have been devoted to many
fundamental problems in managing and analysing graph data.  In this talk,
I will present some of our recent research efforts in processing big
graphs including scalable processing theory and techniques, distributed
computation, and system framework.

Biography:

Xuemin Lin is a UNSW Scientia Professor and the head of database group in
the school of computer science and engineering at UNSW, Australia.
Xuemin's research interests lie in databases, algorithms, and
complexities. Specifically, he is working in the area of scalable data
processing covering graph data, spatial-temporal data, streaming data,
uncertain data, text data, etc. Xuemin was an associate editor of ACM TODS
(2008-2014), IEEE TKDE (Feb 2013- Jan 2015),  and an associate
editor-in-Chief of IEEE TKDE (2015-2016). He is currently the
Editor-in-Chief  of IEEE TKDE (2017 Jan - Now).  Xuemin has published over
270 papers;  among them 130 papers are in the top venues such as SIGMOD,
SIGIR, SIGKDD, ACM MM, VLDB, PODS, ICDE, IJAIC, IEEE TKDE, VLDB J, and ACM
TODS.  Xuemin co-authored 16 best papers in the international conferences,
including the best paper award in ICDE2016 and best student paper award in
ICDE2007. Xuemin Lin was selected as one of the National Thousand
Distinguished Overseas Scholars in China in 2010. He is an IEEE Fellow.
