Modern computing management systems and application programs are often de signed as open systems. In an open environment, the users' application programs serving similar purposes, though possibly implemented using different hardware or software tech nologies, can interact easily and properly with one other. But, it is a big challenge in research and development to provide the means for integrating these technologies and reengineering the new or existing management systems so as to make all of the relevant components interoperable. In case of databases, because of the variety in data models and theory, the interoper ability and reengineering issues become even more complex and crucial, especi...
Description Logics are a family of knowledge representation languages that have been studied extensively in Artificial Intelligence over the last two decades. They are embodied in several knowledge-based systems and are used to develop various real-life applications. The Description Logic Handbook provides a thorough account of the subject, covering all aspects of research in this field, namely: theory, implementation, and applications. Its appeal will be broad, ranging from more theoretically-oriented readers, to those with more practically-oriented interests who need a sound and modern understanding of knowledge representation systems based on Description Logics. The chapters are written by some of the most prominent researchers in the field, introducing the basic technical material before taking the reader to the current state of the subject, and including comprehensive guides to the literature. In sum, the book will serve as a unique reference for the subject, and can also be used for self-study or in conjunction with Knowledge Representation and Artificial Intelligence courses.
"Akashvani" (English ) is a programme journal of ALL INDIA RADIO ,it was formerly known as The Indian Listener.It used to serve the listener as a bradshaw of broadcasting ,and give listener the useful information in an interesting manner about programmes, who writes them,take part in them and produce them along with photographs of performing artists.It also contains the information of major changes in the policy and service of the organisation. The Indian Listener (fortnightly programme journal of AIR in English) published by The Indian State Broadcasting Service,Bombay ,started on 22 december, 1935 and was the successor to the Indian Radio Times in english, which was published beginning in ...
This edition combines clear explanations of database theory and design with up-to-date coverage of models and real systems. It features excellent examples and access to Addison Wesley's database Web site that includes further teaching, tutorials and many useful student resources.
This is a revision of the market leading book for providing the fundamental concepts of database management systems. - Clear explaination of theory and design topics- Broad coverage of models and real systems- Excellent examples with up-to-date introduction to modern technologies- Revised to include more SQL, more UML, and XML and the Internet
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2004, held in Jeju Island, Korea in March 2004. The 60 revised full papers and 18 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited articles were carefully reviewed and seleted from 272 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on access methods, query processing in XML, security and integrity, query processing in temporal and spatial databases, semi-structured databases, knowledge discovery in temporal and spatial databases, XML and multimedia and knowledge discovery on the Web, query processing and optimization, classification and clustering, Web search, mobile databases, parallel and distributed databases, and multimedia databases.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA 2005).
The study and application of spatial information systems have been developed primarily from the use of computers in the geosciences. These systems have the principle functions of capturing, storing, representing, manipulating, and displaying data in 2-D and 3-D worlds. This book approaches its subject from the perspectives of informatics and geography, presenting methods of conceptual modeling developed in computer science that provide valuable aids for resolving spatial problems. This book is an essential textbook for both students and practitioners. It is indispensable for academic geographers, computer scientists, and the GIS professional. - Serves as the first comprehensive textbook on the field of Spatial Information Systems (also known as Geographic Information Systems) - Contains extensive illustrations - Presents numerous detailed examples
Connecting databases to the world wide web is an increasingly important skill for computer scientists and MIS/BIS as the WWW breaks down the traditional barriers of information sharing across organisations, allowing this vital process to be done cheaply and efficiently. Traditional database books present database design with any material on web-applications being a tackled later, almost as an afterthought. Similarly, web-development books may gloss over databases in a single chapter on SQL. This book discusses database development but always in the context of the web. Thus it gives a genuine understanding of how to implement web databases rather than presenting one field and simply trying to 'bolt-on' the other afterwards. That said, it covers the core concepts of a traditional database design course and so offers the flexibility of learning database design separate from the web applications if desired. Scripting is covered first so that, should the reader want to get the web context from the start, they understand how their application will be implemented before trying to design it.
