Designing architectural frameworks without the aid of formal modeling is error prone. But, unless supported by analysis, formal modeling is prone to its own class of errors, in wh...
Using traditional semantic data modeling, multi-level modeling can be achieved by representing objects in different abstraction hierarchies, namely classification, aggregation and...
Recently numerous proposals for modelling and querying Multidimensional Databases (MDDB) are proposed. Among the still open problems there is a rigorous classification of the diff...
Incorporating probabilities into the semantics of incomplete databases has posed many challenges, forcing systems to sacrifice modeling power, scalability, or treatment of relatio...
Several recent papers have focused on OLAP over imprecise data, where each fact can be a region, instead of a point, in a multidimensional space. They have provided a multiple-wor...
