Information overload that we as individuals daily face, represents a major challenge for the future society. The research goal of the DISG group is to offer novel solutions for serving information to people in an effective and nonintrusive way from the vast data cloud while taking into account (mobile) context, information needs and preferences as well as real-time data properties.

Distributed Information Systems Group (DISG) is a research group within the Department of Telecommunications, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), University of Zagreb.

DISG group members: Prof. Ivana Podnar Žarko (group leader), Asst. Prof. Krešimir Pripužić, Aleksandar Antonić (PhD student) and Martina Marjanović (PhD student)

Research topics are within the area of large-scale distributed systems with a focus on scalability-related issues, in particular, Big Data processing in the context of (mobile) Internet of Things, recommender systems, and information retrieval in decentralized environments.
