During the past several years, an object-oriented approach to programming and designing
complex software systems has received tremendous attention in the programming …

This database theory book provides a focused presentation of the core material on relational
databases, and presents a number of advanced topics in a unified framework. Some of the …

A simple, graph-oriented database model, supporting object-identity, is presented. For this
model, a transformation language based on elementary graph operations is defined. This …

We present a new principle for the development of database query languages that the
primitive operations should be organized around types. Viewing a relational database as …

This volume presents the results of approximately 15 years of work from researchers around
the world on the use of fuzzy set theory to represent imprecision in databases. The maturity …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a systematic and unifying introduction to
relational database theory, including some of the recent developments in database logic …

We demonstrate the power of object identities (oid's) as a database query language
primitive. We develop an object-based data model, whose structural part generalizes most of …

We investigate the properties of a simple programming language whose main computational
engine is structural recursion on sets. We describe a progression of sublanguages in this …

In this paper we address the problem of modeling collaborative decision and knowledge
intensive business processes (sometimes referred to as Decision Intensive Processes, or …
