Several mapping schemes have recently been proposed to store XML data in relational tables. Relational database systems are readily available and can handle vast amounts of data v...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...

Given that most elementary problems in database design are NP-hard, the currently used database design algorithms produce suboptimal results. For example, the current 3NF decompos...
