The concept of a transaction, highly significant in the context of data bases, is broadened to make it refer to any atomic operation that changes the state of a software system or...
In this article we extend previous work on the development of logical foundations for the specification of the dynamics of databases. In particular, we deal with two problems. Fir...
Changes in the real world may require both the database population and the database schema to evolve. Particularly, this is the case in CAD/CAM and CASE database systems, in which...
In many scientific domains, experimental devices or simulation programs generate large volumes of data. The volumes of data may reach hundreds of terabytes and therefore it is imp...

We address the problem of similarity search in large time series databases. We introduce a novel indexing algorithm that allows faster retrieval. The index is formed by creating b...
Multidimensional Analysis in On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), and Scientific and statistical databases (SSDB) use operations requiring summary information on multi-dimensiona...
