A key observation is that the invariants in database management determine the mapping steps of the supporting architecture. Referring to the multi-layered architecture of record-or...
We examine the organizational impact on phylogenetic databases of the increasing sophistication in the need and use of phylogenetic data. A primary issue is the use of the unnorma...
Object-oriented database management systems are often motivated by their support for new emerging application areas such as computer-aided design and analysis systems. The object-o...
Efficient user-adaptable similarity search more and more increases in its importance for multimedia and spatial database systems. As a general similarity model for multi-dimension...
Advanced technical applications like routing systems or electrical network managementsystems introduce the need for complex manipulations of large size graphs. Efficiently support...
