Linear constraint databases and query languages are appropriate for spatial database applications. Not only the data model is natural to represent a large portion of spatial data s...
Data flow process networks are a good model of computation for streaming multimedia applications incorporating audio, video and/or graphics streams. Process networks are concurre...
Data integration systems provide a uniform query interface (UQI) to multiple, autonomous data sources [4]. This paper presents the universal data model (UDM) that captures the sem...
Abstract. A stochastic extension of COWS is presented. First the formalism is given an operational semantics leading to finitely branching transition systems. Then its syntax and ...
