Pages : 540
Book Description
The emergence of new paradigms for data management raises a variety of exciting challenges. An important goal of database theory is to answer these challenges by providing sound foundations for the development of the field. This volume contains the papers selected for the third International Conference on Database Theory, ICDT'90. The conferences in this series are held biannually in beautiful European cities, Rome in 1986 and Bruges in 1988 with proceedings published as volumes 234 and 326 in the same series. ICDT'90 was organized in Paris by the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique. The conference features 2 invited presentations and 31 papers selected from 129 submissions. The papers describe original ideas and new results on the foundations of databases, knowledge bases, object-oriented databases, relational theory, transaction management, data structures and deductive databases. The volume offers a good overview of the state of the art and the current trends in database theory. It should be a valuable source of information for researchers interested in the field.

Next Generation Information System Technology
Author: Joachim W. Schmidt
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540541417
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Currently, the field of information systems technology is rapidly extending into several dimensions. There is the semantic dimension (including object orientation, data deduction and extended knowledge representation schemes), there is improved systems integration, and there are new tools. All these extensions aim to provide semantically richer and better engineered information systems that allow for more adequate and complete representations and thus extend the effective use of database technology to a wider class of applications. Database researchers and developers, whether they are committed to application or to system construction, are convinced that next-generation information system technology will be heavily determined by a handful of new concepts that they have to understand and work out in detail now. This volume concentrates on the following topics: - Extended data types and data models, database programming languages; - Rule-based data deduction, expert systems, knowledge bases; - Object orientation and semantic data modelling; - DB application development, methodologies and tools; - Interface technology, parallelism, interoperability, ...; - New database applications.

Automata, Languages and Programming

Pages : 804
Book Description
In subvolume 27C1 magnetic and related properties of binary lanthanide oxides have been compiled. This subvolume covers data obtained since 1980 and can therefore be regarded as supplement to volume III/12c. While in the previous volume the majority of magnetic data was obtained either from magnetometric measurements or from neutron diffraction, for the present data the main emphasis is devoted to 'related' properties without which, however, the understanding of classical magnetic properties is impossible. A second part 27C2 will deal with binary oxides of the actinide elements.

CAAP '92
Author: Jean-Claude Raoult
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540552512
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
This volume contains selected papers presented at the seventeenth Colloquiumon Trees in Algebra and Programming (CAAP) held jointly with the European Symposium on Programming (ESOP) in Rennes, France, February 26-28, 1992 (the proceedings of ESOP appear in LNCS 582). The previous colloquia were held in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Denmark and England. Every even year, as in 1992, CAAP is held jointly with ESOP; every other year, it is part of TAPSOFT (Theory And Practice of SOFTware development). In the beginning, CAAP was devoted to algebraic and combinatorial properties of trees and their role in various fields of computer science. The scope of CAAP has now been extended to other discrete structures, like graphs, equations and transformations of graphs, and their links with logical theories. The programme committee received 40 submissions, from which 19 papers have been selected for inclusion inthis volume.

Parallel Database Systems
Author: Pierre America
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540541325
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop on parallel database systems organized by the PRISMA (Parallel Inference and Storage Machine) project. The invited contributions by internationally recognized experts give a thorough survey of several aspects of parallel database systems. The second part of the volume gives an in-depth overview of the PRISMA system. This system is based on a parallel machine, where the individual processors each have their own local memory and communicate with each other over a packet-switched network. On this machine a parallel object-oriented programming language, POOL-X, has been implemented, which provides dedicated support for database systems as well as general facilities for parallel programming. The POOL-X system then serves as a platform for a complete relational main-memory database management system, which uses the parallelism of the machine to speed up significantly the execution of database queries. The presentation of the PRISMA system, together with the invited papers, gives a broad overview of the state of the art in parallel database systems.

Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes
Author: Shojiro Sakata
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540541950
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
The AAECC conferences focus on the algebraic aspects of modern computer science, which include the most up-to-date and advanced topics. The topic of error-correcting codes is one where theory and implementation are unified into a subject both of mathematical beauty and of practical importance. Algebraic algorithms are not only interesting theoretically but also important in computer and communication engineering and many other fields. This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th AAECC conference, held in Tokyo in August 1990. Researchers from Europe, America, Japan and other regions of the world presented papers at the conference. The papers present new results of recent theoretical and application-oriented research on applied algebra, algebraic algorithms and error-correcting codes.

Functional Programming Languages and Computer Architecture
Author: John Hughes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540543961
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 684
Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive view of the best and the latest work in functional programming. It is the proceedings of a major international conference and contains 30 papers selected from 126 submitted. A number of themes emerge. One is a growing interest in types: powerful type systems or type checkers supporting overloading, coercion, dynamic types, and incremental inference; linear types to optimize storage, and polymorphic types to optimize semantic analysis. The hot topic of partial evaluation is well represented: techniques for higher-order binding-time analysis, assuring termination of partial evaluation, and improving the residual programs a partial evaluator generates. The thorny problem of manipulating state in functional languages is addressed: one paper even argues that parallel programs with side-effects can be "more declarative" than purely functional ones. Theoretical work covers a new model of types based on projections, parametricity, a connection between strictness analysis and logic, and a discussion of efficient implementations of the lambda-calculus. The connection with computer architecture and a variety of other topics are also addressed.
