In the spirit of Landin, we present a calculus of dependent types to serve as the semantic foundation for a family of languages called data description languages. Such languages, ...
We study active integrity constraints and revision programming, two formalisms designed to describe integrity constraints on databases and to specify policies on preferred ways to...
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is a promising paradigm for development. It raises the level of abstraction in software development by treating models as primary artifacts. The prac...
The problem of designing suitable conceptual modeling languages for system engineering is far from being solved. In the past years, some works have proposed the use of foundational...
This paper describes a novel approach for obtaining semantic interoperability among data sources in a bottom-up, semiautomatic manner without relying on pre-existing, global seman...
