This paper describes an approach to On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), expresed in the declarative programming paradigm.
We define a collection of functions that capture some of the functionality currently provided by multidimensional database product. This is done by defining…

This document describes a research and development project - Semantic Web and Cooperative Problem Solving for Online Communities of Practice. The aim of the project is to build a system supporting Cooperative Problem Solving within the framework of online Communities…

EQUIVALENCE OF SOME STRINGS. THESE ARE LOWERCASE VERUS UPPERCASE MATCHING, MORPHOLOGICAL INFLECTION, DERIVATION, AND SYNONYMY OF WORDS: E.G. GIVE A QUERY COMPUTER, FIND COMPUTER COMPUTING, WORKSTATION. THE LATTER PROBLEMS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN LANGUAGES WITH RICHER MORPHOLOGY AND LESS STABLE…

Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techniques are changing to give some answers to this reality. In…

THE GOAL OF THIS PAPER IS TO DOCUMENT THE USE OF TIME SERIES IN COLOR MATCHING. ALTHOUGH TIME SERIES ARE NOT COMMONLY USED FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE RESULTS OBTAINED, BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF SIMILARITY IN TIME SERIES USING THE…

Ensuring the correctness of a given software component has become a crucial aspect in Software Engineering and the Model Checking technique provides a fully automated way to achieve this goal. In particular, the usage of Model Checking in formal languages…

Electronic Government applications aim to deliver efficient, seamless, customer-focused services to the public using various distribution channels. One of challenges in building such applications is the requirement to rely upon preexisting, often heterogeneous government applications. In order to enable communication…

Este documento explora la relación entre la distribución del ingreso, las instituciones y los conflictos en América Latina y el Caribe mediante el uso de una nueva base de datos de estadísticas de la distribución del ingreso calculado a partir…

Data base management evolved during the sixties and seventies. The evolution period was protracted. Many driving forces impacted the evolution and it is the aim of this paper to analyze these driving forces (some technical and some political) and to…

This paper shows models of data description that incorporate uncertainty like models of data extension EER, IFO among others. These database modeling tools are compared with the pattern FuzzyEER proposed by us, which is an extension of the EER model…
