We present a theorem-prover based analysis tool for object-oriented database systems with integrity constraints. Object-oriented database specifications are mapped to higher-order...
This paper discusses the structure and components of databases for real-world e-commerce systems. We first present an integrated 8-process value chain needed by the e-commerce sys...
—Past research on temporal databases has primarily focused on state-based representations and on relational query language extensions for such representations. This led to many d...
We propose a simple approach to combining first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models in a single representation. A Markov logic network (MLN) is a first-order knowledge b...
In this report, we unify two quite distinct approaches to information retrieval: region models and language models. Region models were developed for structured document retrieval....
