Information Storage Analysis and Retrieval (ISAR)

ISAR is one of four disciplines within the School of Computer Science and Information Technology at RMIT.

Key aims

The discipline is concerned with the design, implementation and application of efficient algorithms and data structures for effective information storage and retrieval systems.

We analyse and develop algorithms for processing information represented in numeric, text, image, audio, and video data.

The discipline encompasses the study of many applications that use these algorithms including file systems, database systems, search engines and the World Wide Web.
