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...
Abstract. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses in the requirements, design, and implementation, which attackers exploit to compromise the system. This paper proposes a vulnerability-cent...
Abstract. We discuss the existence of matrix representations for generalised and minimum participation constraints which are frequently used in database design and conceptual model...
In this paper we present MD, a logical model for OLAP systems, and show how it can be used in the design of multidimensional databases. Unlike other models for multidimensional dat...
The problem of data integration (query decomposition, data fragmentation) has been widely studied in literature, but the inherent hierarchical nature of XML data presents problems...
