Kristin Tufte
I am a Research Assistant Professor at
Portland State University in the
Department of Computer Science
and in the
Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering.
Research
My current research focus is data stream processing. In particular, I am
interested in processing queries in the presences of disordered and bursty
data. I am also interested in applying data stream technology to Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS). Traffic congestion wastes time and fuel
and is estimated to cost our economy over $60 billion per year. ITS are
an important tool for traffic management. Further, they receive
many types of live data such as loop detector data, bus dispatch data,
automatic weather reports, and weigh-in-motion records.
I hope that by applying data stream
technology to ITS systems we can develop improved real-time traffic
performance measurements and metrics to help ITS professionals manage
our nations' roads.

Courses
Periodically I teach a data streams course
(CS 410-510 Data Streams)
with Prof. Dave Maier. This course was offered for the
second time in Fall 2007.
