Time and Relational Theory provides an in-depth description of temporal database systems, which provide special facilities for storing, querying, and updating historical and future data. Traditionally, database management systems provide little or no special support for temporal data at all. This situation is changing because: - Cheap storage enables retention of large volumes of historical data in data warehouses - Users are now faced with temporal data problems, and need solutions - Temporal features have recently been incorporated into the SQL standard, and vendors have begun to add temporal support to their DBMS products Based on the groundbreaking text Temporal Data & the Relational Mod...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences, ISCIS 2004, held in Kemer-Antalya, Turkey in October 2004. The 99 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 335 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on artificial intelligence and machine learning, computer graphics and user interfaces, computer networks and security, computer vision and image processing, database systems, modeling and performance evaluation, natural language processing, parallel and distributed computing, real-time control applications, software engineering and programming, and theory of computing.
This is an introductory text to the science of neurobiology, describing animal nervous systems, what they consist of, how they work, and how they are studied. Unlike many other neurobiology texts, considerable discussion is given to both human and non-human nervous systems. Written in an easy-to-read style, it will be useful for both biology and medical students. It provides the opportunity for self-testing at the end of each chapter, with objectives and questions. A CD-ROM entitled 'The Human Brain' (ISBN 3-540-14666-0) has been produced to accompany this text, and can be purchased either separately or together with the book (ISBN 3-540-63778-8).
This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on AdvancesinInformationSystems(ADVIS)heldinIzmir,Turkey,20–22October, 2004. This was the third conference dedicated to the memory of Prof. Esen Ozkarahan. We are very proud to continue this tradition and keep the memory of this outstanding scientist. The third conference covered many of the topics of the second one: databases and data warehouses, information systems development and management, - formation retrieval, distributed and parallel data processing, and evolutionary algorithms. Besides them some of the hot topics related to information systems were included in the scope of this conference, such as data mining...

Each part gives an introduction to research in the area. Authors discuss topics of current interest and the results of their recent research. Many examples and figures. Contains a glossary of concepts and an extensive bibliography. No index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
This text provides the Intelligent Database Environment for Advanced Applications (IDEA) methodology for the development, maintenance and application of modern database systems. It seeks to enable the reader to take advantage of current advances in software engineering techniques. The book is split into three parts covering an introduction to the models and languages used in the methodology; the process of analysis, design, prototyping and implementation; and how to put the methodology to work.
In-depth and tutorial treatment of relational data base systems; detailed coverage of DB2, INGRES and SQL.
