Application of OODB and SGML techniques in text database: an electronic dictionary system
An electronic dictionary system (EDS) is developed with object-oriented database techniques based on ObjectStore. The EDS is composed of two parts: the Database Building Program (DBP), and the Database Querying Program (DQP). DBP reads in a dictionary ...
Implementation aspects of an object-oriented DBMS
This paper describes the design and implementation of an OODBMS, namely the METU Object-Oriented DBMS (MOOD). MOOD [Dog 94b] is developed on the Exodus Storage Manager (ESM) [ESM 92] and therefore some of the kernel functions like storage management, ...
HODFA: an architectural framework for homogenizing heterogeneous legacy databases
One of the main difficulties in supporting global applications over a number of localized databases and migrating legacy information systems to modern computing environment is to cope with the heterogeneities of these systems. In this paper, we present ...
A close look at the IFO data model
The IFO data model was proposed by Abiteboul and Hull [Abiteboul 87] as a formalized semantic database model. It has been claimed by the authors that the model subsumes the Relational model [Codd 70], the Entity-Relationship model [Chen 76], the ...
Multigranularity locking in multiple job classes transaction processing system
The conditions of when to apply fine and coarse granularity to different kinds of transaction are well understood. However, it is not very clear how multiple job classes using different lock granularities affect each other. This study aims at exploring ...
Implementing deletion in B+-trees
This paper describes algorithms for key deletion in B+-trees. There are published algorithms and pseudocode for searching and inserting keys, but deletion, due to its greater complexity and perceived lesser importance, is glossed over completely or left ...
The third manifesto
We present a manifesto for the future direction of data and database management systems. The manifesto consists of a series of prescriptions, proscriptions, and "very strong suggestions."
An annotated bibliography of benchmarks for object databases
This annotated bibliography presents a collection of published papers, technical reports, Master's and PhD Theses that have investigated various aspects of object database performance.
An annotated bibliography on active databases (short version)
This is a bibliography on active databases and active database systems which reflects the various research activities in this field. We compiled this bibliography for our own use, but hopefully it might be useful to other people as well. All papers that ...
ACM Multimedia '94 conference workshop on multimedia database management systems
This paper describes the ACM Multimedia '94 Conference Workshop on Multimedia Database Management Systems held on 21 October 1994 in San Francisco, California. The workshop consisted of four sessions: designing multimedia database management systems, ...
Information systems research at RWTH Aachen
With about 8.000 researchers and 40.000 students, RWTH Aachen is the largest technical university in Europe. The science and engineering departments and their industrial collaborators offer a lot of challenges for database research.The chair Informatik ...
The database group at University of Hagen
The database area has been one of those areas of computer science which have very directly been driven by application requirements; this is true today in three ways: First, the users want more application specific support from the database, and they expect ...
A comparison of three user interfaces to relational microcomputer data bases
PAYOFF IDEA. Different styles of user interfaces can dramatically affect data base capabilities. In an environment comprising many different data bases, the goal is to select one data base management system (DBMS) that provides the best selection of ...
