Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
Abstract. We study containment of conjunctive queries that are evaluated over databases that may contain tuples with null values. We assume the semantics of SQL for single block qu...
The development of a multilingual terminology is a very long and costly process. We present the creation of a multilingual terminological database called GRISP covering multiple t...
We present HyperGraphDB, a novel graph database based on generalized hypergraphs where hyperedges can contain other hyperedges. This generalization automatically reifies every ent...
Traditional Event-Condition-Action triggers (active database rules) include a Boolean predicate as a trigger condition. We propose fuzzy triggers whereby fuzzy inference is utiliz...
