Measuring the effects of data distribution models on performance evaluation of distributed database systems
The effect of simplistic assumptions about the data distribution and replication in a system on performance measures and the...
Object-oriented databases: definition and research directions
An object-oriented database is defined and justified on the basis of a small set of central object-oriented concepts. A...
Ontology-Based Service Representation and Selection
Selecting the right parties to interact with is a fundamental problem in open and dynamic environments. The problem is...
Converting a Fuzzy Data Model to an Object-Oriented Design for Managing GIS Data Files
A fuzzy entity relationship diagram (ERD) data model for managing information about sets of related data files was converted...
Constraint analysis: a design process for specifying operations on objects
A design process for an object-oriented database design environment, known as constraint analysis, is presented. Given the increased level...
Specifying and Enforcing Association Semantics via ORN in the Presence of Association Cycles
Object Relationship Notation (ORN) is a declarative scheme that allows a variety of common relationship types to be conveniently...
A History Approach of Automatic Relationships Establishment for VLSI Design Database
We propose a novel data management paradigm that incrementally and transparently constructs the relationships among VLSI design objects. This...
Database Design Principles for Placement of Delay-Sensitive Data on Disks
We investigate design principles for placing striped delay-sensitive data on a number of disks in a distributed environment. The...
Allocating Data and Operations to Nodes in Distributed Database Design
The allocation of data and operations to nodes in a computer communications network is a critical issue in distributed...
Naive semantics to support automated database design
Research devoted to developing knowledge-based tools for database design has demonstrated that it is possible to encode a great...
