In this paper, we study the maintenance of role-based access control (RBAC) models in database environments using transitive closure relations. In particular, the algorithms that ...
Problems resulting from the management of shared, distributed knowledge has led to ontologies being employed as a solution, in order to effectively integrate information across a...
Abstract. A Wide-Area Sensor Network (WASN) is a collection of heterogeneous sensor networks and data repositories spread over a wide geographic area. The diversity of sensor types...
Classical ontologies are not suitable to represent imprecise nor uncertain pieces of information. As a solution we will combine fuzzy Description Logics with a possibilistic layer....
Database management systems (DBMS) have significantly changed in the last several years. From a system dealing with management of administrative data they have involved to a spati...
