Redaktion: Chomicki, Jan; Saake, Gunter; Meyden, Ron Van Der

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Logic provides a rich set of tools and techniques with which to address the questions of how to represent, query and reason about complex data. Written for scientists and graduate students, this book presents current research results on logic applications in databases that focus on new and hot application areas such as XML, web data, workflow, intelligent agents, data mining, and temporal information. The book is of interest for database and information system researchers and graduate students who will find a lot of information and resources for their work.
