Graphical Direct Manipulation (GrDM) query languagesare characterized and positioned with respect to traditional textual query languages. After a brief survey of the current state...
We develop the scheme of indefinite constraint databases using first-order logic as our representation language. When this scheme is instantiated with temporal constraints, the res...
Temporal databases provide built-in supports for efficient recording and querying of time-evolving data. In this paper, data clustering issues in temporal database environment are...
