The use of formal methods has long been advocated in the development of secure systems. Yet, methods for deriving design from requirements that guarantee retention of the intended...

This paper presents a specifically database-inspired approach (called DOGMA) for engineering formal ontologies, implemented as shared resources used to express agreed formal semant...
Spatio-temporal uncertainty is a special feature of moving objects due to the inability of precisely capturing or predicting their continuously changing locations. Indeterminate lo...
A suitable software architecture –for example in the area of distributed application– can be composed of known-to-work solutions. These are also known as design patterns. Howev...
Physical design for object-oriented databases is still in its infancy. Implementation decisions often intrude into the conceptual design (such as inverse links and object decompos...
