Overview

Fundamentals of Information Systems contains articles from the 7th International Workshop on Foundations of Models and Languages for Data and Objects (FoMLaDO '98), which was held in Timmel, Germany. These articles capture various aspects of database and information systems theory:

• identification as a primitive of database models
• deontic action programs
• marked nulls in queries
• topological canonization in spatial databases
• complexity of search queries
• complexity of Web queries
• attribute grammars for structured document queries
• hybrid multi-level concurrency control
• efficient navigation in persistent object stores
• formal semantics of UML
• reengineering of object bases and integrity dependence
.
Fundamentals of Information Systems serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging research issues in the field.

A dozen selected papers from the Seventh International Workshop on Foundations of Models and Languages for Data and Objects, held in Timmel, Germany in October 1998. They deal with fundamental aspects of information systems, such as distributed and federated databases, object oriented databases, deductive databases, temporal aspects, logics and semantics, database and information systems design, integrity and security, query languages and optimization, databases in world-wide nets, and database dynamics. Among the topics are deontic action programs, the matrix-index coding approach to efficient navigation in persistent object stores, and a hybrid protocol for multi-level transactions. The collection is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR booknews.com
