: We describe the architecture of a relational databasesystem that is extensible by user-defined data types and operations, including relation operations. The central concept is to...
This paper presents the rudiments of a theory of schema design for databases containing high dimensional features of the type used for describing multimedia data. We introduce a mo...
A necessary step in the implementation of three-dimensional spatial data types for spatial database systems and GIS is the development of robust geometric primitives. The authors ...
We review some of the history of the computability theory of functionals of higher types, and we will demonstrate how contributions from logic and theoretical computer science hav...
