We present a theorem-prover based analysis tool for object-oriented database systems with integrity constraints. Object-oriented database specifications are mapped to higher-order...
Predictability is crucial in critical applications and systems. Therefore, we examine sources of uncertainty for each of the four phases that span a project lifecycle, from initial...
Currently the key problems of query optimization are extensibility imposed by object-relational technology, as well as query complexity caused by forthcoming applications, such as...
Present approaches to human face detection have made several assumptions that restrict their ability to be extended to general imaging conditions. We identify that the key factori...
Abstract. Although maps and partitions are ubiquitous in geographical information systems and spatial databases, there is only little work investigating their foundations. We give ...
