In this book, you will find discussions on the newest native XML databases, along with information on working with XML-enabled relational database systems. In addition, XML Data Management thoroughly examines benchmarks and analysis techniques for performance of XML databases. This book is best used by students that are knowledgeable in database technology and are familiar with XML.

Overview and Progress Report of the ESSE Project

Maria E. Orlowska

The papers published here highlight the contributions of leading researchers in the field who are working with object-oriented technology, theory and practice. Among the topics to be covered are: object-relational data technology; distributed object computing; patterns and frameworks; concepts and methodologies; multimedia systems; object-0riented metrics; object reuse; object ontologies; business process re-design; knowledge management; object database management systems; and interoperability issues. Areas of significant interest to industry, especially in providing innovative directions for the development of next generation systems, are also covered.

Experts agree that major advances will be achieved in the development of information systems when the successful integration of conceptual modeling, databases, and CASE has taken place. Although many conferences and journals are devoted to these three individual areas and volumes of collected papers report on work in each area, there is a serious lack of material which interrelates the three fields in a cohesive manner. This important work provides a single reference point for anyone wishing to understand how these three areas may dramatically influence the development of information systems in the future. Written by leading researchers in these fields, Conceptual Modeling, Databases, and CASE clearly demonstrates that there are different models and techniques in all three areas and develops a framework for examining these models and techniques across the three fields. The following important issues are addressed: influences of new conceptual models on CASE methods and tools; influences of new database technology on CASE architecture and information systems development; impact of new conceptual models on database functionality; and impact of data base technology on conceptual modeling. This valuable book provides a general discussion of research directions in each area, reviews contemporary approaches and critically examines the relationship of the approaches in each section in relation to the other two sections. The first section of the book will deal with advanced conceptual modeling approaches. The second section presents the new generation of database systems and the third section discusses new approaches to CASE from both methodological and tools perspectives.

The database field has experienced a rapid and incessant growth since the development of relational databases. The progress in database systems and applications has produced a diverse landscape of specialized technology areas that have often become the exclusive domain of research specialists. Examples include active databases, temporal databases, object-oriented databases, deductive databases, imprecise reasoning and queries, and multimedia information systems. This book provides a systematic introduction to and an in-depth treatment of these advanced database areas. It supplies practitioners and researchers with authoritative coverage of recent technological advances that are shaping the future of commercial database systems and intelligent information systems. Advanced Database Systems was written by a team of six leading specialists who have made significant contributions to the development of the technology areas covered in the book. Benefiting from the authors' long experience teaching graduate and professional courses, this book is designed to provide a gradual introduction to advanced research topics and includes many examples and exercises to support its use for individual study, desk reference, and graduate classroom teaching.
