Mathematics is forcing towards a consistent framework of theory development. Computer Science is an engineering discipline and sometimes suffers from ad-hoc definitions. Transac...
The design of secure buffer managers for database systems supporting real-time applications with firm deadlines is studied here. We first identify the design challenges and then p...
It is challenging to manage the performance of real-time databases (RTDBs) that are often used in data-intensive real-time applications such as agile manufacturing and target trac...
Rare events analysis is an area that includes methods for the detection and prediction of events, e.g. a network intrusion or an engine failure, that occur infrequently and have s...
One of the most difficult tasks in the design of information systems is how to control the behaviour of the back-end storage engine, usually a relational database. As the load on t...
