Data conversion from an old version to a new version of a database is a critical task, whose results may have heavy impact on the existing set of application programs that manipulate the database. The ideal situation is one in which only exactly the stored data structures involved in a modification of data requirements should be adapted or recreated, and in which all still meaningful data is moved to the new stored data structures, with small computational effort (that is, in short time and with small additional storage space). This paper introduces an approach to the partial solution of this problem, using the State-Space Problem Solving approach from Artificial Intelligence.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/BFb0024392
