Abstract. Software applications are inevitably concerned with data integrity, whether the data is stored in a database, files, or program memory. An integrity guard is code execut...
The Resource Space Model (RSM) is a semantic data model based on orthogonal classification semantics for effectively managing various resources in interconnection environment. In p...
When a database is defined as views over autonomous sources, inconsistencies with respect to global integrity constraints are to be expected. This paper investigates the possibili...
We present a procedure for deriving the weakest precondition for a database update and an integrity constraint. We show how to simplify the weakest precondition to produce a condi...
