Big Data and Analytics - University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons

Research focus

Big Data and Analytics

‘So that information and knowledge can be gained from data.’

The team knows how data can be interpreted

because we know how this data can be analysed,
because we know what users are doing with it and
because we know how information and knowledge can be generated from data.

The research focus area of big data and analytics is broken down into the three research fields of data analytics, the evaluation of data use as well as digital business and usability engineering.

Research fields

Data Analytics

In the area of Data Analytics, University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons focuses on the analysis of structured corporate data (business intelligence), unstructured text and multimedia contents (web intelligence) as well as data sources with a high level of heterogeneity, large volumes and data throughput (big data).

Digital Business and Usability Engineering

The research field of Digital Business and Usability Engineering looks at the economic and technical dimensions that are of importance with respect to the use of digital objects.

Knowledge and User Research

The research field of Knowledge and User Research places an emphasis on the user of a specific data offering. By using the data, the user wishes to cover a specific information requirement. University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons investigates with which measures it is possible to optimally plan and implement data use as well as how its success can be evaluated.
