Through fundamental research and strategic industry/university partnerships, ASU's Center for Assured and Scalable Data Engineering (CASCADE) is developing novel tool and architectures for reliable and timely data-driven decision making. CASCADE's mission includes carrying out fundamental research on (a) trusted and privacy preserving data processing and analysis, (b) real-time data processing and analysis, (c) parallel and distributed data processing and analysis, and (d) high dimensional and multi-modal data processing and analysis, and translating technological insights obtained from our research into new key technology elements whose different instantiations are deployed for direct impact to various industries.
