A cryptographic mechanism for object-instance-based authorization in object-oriented database systems
In this paper a mechanism for access control at the instance level of a class in object-oriented databases is...
An approach to maintaining optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas
This paper presents a redesign method for maintaining optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas. This method is based on...
Transforming conceptual models to object-oriented database designs: Practicalities, properties, and peculiarities
More work is needed on devising practical, but theoretically well-founded procedures for doing object-oriented database (OODB) design. Besides being...
Verification problems in conceptual workflow specifications
Most of today's business requirements can only be accomplished through integration of various autonomous systems which were initially designed...
Process knowledge modeling
Knowledge is connected to a subject (a theory, a lesson) but Process Knowledge is connected to an object and...
The conceptual database design optimizer CoDO — Concepts, implementation, application
Traditional database design does not consider operational behavior in detail. In this way, tuning is a frequent requirement after...
ConQuer: A conceptual query language
Relational query languages such as SQL and QBE are less than ideal for end user queries since they require...
Using structural recursion as query mechanism for data models with references
Despite the fact that nearly all important data models include a concept for (explicit) references or referencial integrity, a...
A modular design strategy for a flexible graphical database design environment: An experimental study
This paper informally introduces a modular design strategy embedded in our graphical database design environment underlying graph grammar formalism...
A generative approach to database federation
This paper introduces a comprehensive, specification-based approach to database federation, supporting an integrated ODMG-93 conforming access to object-oriented and...
