Over the last fifteen years, database management systems (DBMSs) have been enhanced by the addition of rule-based programming to obtain active DBMSs. One of the greatest challeng...
This paper proposes a novel database replication algorithm that offers strong consistency (linearizable semantics) and allows reads and non-conflicting writes to execute in para...
In logic, the spatio-temporal location of a proposition is characterized precisely within a Cartesian system of space and time coordinates. This is suitable for characterizing the ...
In this paper we discuss two data models for spatial database systems: the linear data model and the topological data model. Both can be used to model a wide range of applications....
Relationships are an integral part of the design of a database. Comparing and integrating relationships from heterogeneous databases requires that the relationships be mapped to ea...
