Object-Oriented Query Languages: The Notion and the Issues
Query languages are an important component of any data management system. Therefore, recent object-oriented DBMS’s provide (or plan to...
Finite satisfiability of integrity constraints in object-oriented database schemas
Checking satisfiability of database constraints is a fundamental problem in database design. In addition, database constraints have to be...
Function Materialization in Object Bases: Design, Realization, and Evaluation
View materialization is a well-known optimization technique of relational database systems. In this work, we present a similar, yet...
Justification for Inclusion Dependency Normal Form
Functional dependencies (FDs) and inclusion dependencies (INDs) are the most fundamental integrity constraints that arise in practice in relational...
Main Memory Oriented Optimization of 00 Queries Using Typed Datalog with Foreign Predicates
Object-oriented DBMS’s (OODB’s) have created a demand for relationally complete, extensible, and declarative object-oriented (00) query languages. Until now,...
A Normalization Framework for Multimedia Databases
We present a normalization framework for the design of multimedia database schemas with reduced manipulation anomalies. To this end,...
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...
A New Architecture for Integration of CORBA and OODB
Object-oriented database system (OODB) supports an object-oriented data model with the functionality of persistency and transaction semantics. In order...
A Data/Knowledge Paradigm for the Modeling and Design of Operations Support Systems
This paper develops the Smart Object paradigm and its instantiation, which provide a new conceptualization for the modeling, design,...
