In the constraint database community, FO+poly and FO+linear have been proposed as foundations for spatial database query languages. One of the strengths of this approach is that t...
In this paper, we develop a mathematical model from the theory of plate bending in elasticity which relates physical properties of a surface to its elastic deformation. We present...
We present a multi-dimensional database model, which we believe can serve as a conceptual model for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP)-based applications. Apart from providing t...
In software engineering, the use of models and metamodeling approaches (e.g., MDA with MOF/UML) for purposes such as software design or software validation is an established pract...

Software process and workflow languages are increasingly used to define loosely-coupled systems of systems. These languages focus on coordination issues such as data flow and c...
