We analyze the schema theorem and the building block hypothesis using a recently derived, exact schemata evolution equation. We derive a new schema theorem based on the concept of...

It is known that the composition of schema mappings, each specified by source-to-target tgds (st-tgds), can be specified by a secondorder tgd (SO tgd). We consider the question of...
A new chaotic mechanism is found to cause perspective reversal for ambiguious patterns. And the new senario to cause perspective reversal is proposed with use of chaos, by reexamin...
Schema mappings are logical assertions that specify the relationships between a source and a target schema in a declarative way. The specification of such mappings is a fundamenta...
Object-oriented applications are difficult to extend and maintain, due to the presence of implicit dependencies in the inheritance hierarchy. Although these dependencies often co...
