Nittany System Research, LLC, will provide an innovative cloud-based data cleaning service, dedool (dedup + tool),using the pay-as-you-go model. The term "data cleaning" in general refers to the task for detecting and correcting inaccurate records in a database so that subsequent business analysis can be performed based on correct data. With the support of NSF, they are currently building the prototype of dedool system. Compared to existing cleaning solutions, dedool is unique in 3 ways. First, since it is 100% cloud based, businesses only need to pay nominal fee to clean their data when they need without substantial investment. Second, dedool is scalable enough to clean half million records less than 30 min. Third, dedool will provide a strong privacy in the cloud so that customerâs data can be cleaned in a secure manner
