Panagiotis Kalnis is a Greek academic who specializes in cloud computing and databases.

Biography

After earning undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Patras in Greece, Kalnis completed a PhD at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.^[1]

Kalnis is a professor of computer science at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.^[2] While working there, he along with colleagues from Thomas J. Watson Research Center have developed a Pregel system called Mizan.^[3] He previously worked at the National University of Singapore, where he and his colleagues developed a tree traversal algorithm which showed suggested edit distance which in turn reduced computation cost.^[4] In 2009, along with Gabriel Ghinita, Panagiotis Karras, and Nikos Mamoulis from the University of Hong Kong, he created heuristics to solve the problems posed by k-anonymity and l-diversity data privacy models in linear time.^[5]

MonetDB is an open-source column-oriented relational database management system (RDBMS) originally developed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. It is designed to provide high performance on complex queries against large databases, such as combining tables with hundreds of columns and millions of rows. MonetDB has been applied in high-performance applications for online analytical processing, data mining, geographic information system (GIS), Resource Description Framework (RDF), text retrieval and sequence alignment processing.

Differential privacy (DP) is an approach for providing privacy while sharing information about a group of individuals, by describing the patterns within the group while withholding information about specific individuals. This is done by making arbitrary small changes to individual data that do not change the statistics of interest. Thus the data cannot be used to infer much about any individual.

Dataspaces are an abstraction in data management that aim to overcome some of the problems encountered in data integration system. The aim is to reduce the effort required to set up a data integration system by relying on existing matching and mapping generation techniques, and to improve the system in "pay-as-you-go" fashion as it is used. Labor-intensive aspects of data integration are postponed until they are absolutely needed.
