A Theory of Diagnosis from First Principles

by Raymond Reiter - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 1987
"... Suppose one is given a description of a system, together with an observation of the system's behaviour which conflicts with the way the system is meant to behave. The diagnostic problem is to determine those components of the system which, when assumed to be functioning abnormally, will explain ..."

, the theory accommodates diagnostic reasoning in a wide variety of practical settings, including digital and analogue circuits, medicine, and database updates. The theory leads to an algorithm for computing all diagnoses, and to various results concerning principles of measurement for discriminating among

Principles of Transaction-Oriented Database Recovery

by Theo Haerder, Andreas Reuter - ACM Computing Surveys , 1983
"... In this paper, a terminological framework is provided for describing different transaction-oriented recovery schemes for database systems in a conceptual rather than an implementation-dependent way. By introducing the terms materialized database, propagation strategy, and checkpoint, we obtain a mea ..."

Hippocratic databases

by Rakesh Agrawal, Jerry Kiernan, Ramakrishnan Srikant, Yirong Xu - In 28th Int’l Conference on Very Large Databases, Hong Kong , 2002
"... The Hippocratic Oath has guided the conduct of physicians for centuries. Inspired by its tenet of preserving privacy, we argue that future database systems must include responsibility for the privacy of data they manage as a founding tenet. We enunciate the key privacy principles for such Hippocrati ..."

The Serializability of Concurrent Database Updates

by Christos H. Papadimitriou - Journal of the ACM , 1979
"... ABSTRACT A sequence of interleaved user transactions in a database system may not be ser:ahzable, t e, equivalent to some sequential execution of the individual transactions Using a simple transaction model, it ~s shown that recognizing the transaction histories that are serlahzable is an NP-complet ..."

From databases to dataspaces: A new abstraction for information management

by Michael Franklin - SIGMOD Record , 2005
"... The development of relational database management systems served to focus the data management community for decades, with spectacular results. In recent years, however, the rapidly-expanding demands of “data everywhere ” have led to a field comprised of interesting and productive efforts, but withou ..."

Knowledge Discovery in Databases: An Attribute-Oriented Approach

by Jiawei Han , Yandong Cai, Nick Cercone , 1992
"... Knowledge discovery in databases, or data mining, is an important issue in the development of data- and knowledge-base systems. An attribute-oriented induction method has been developed for knowledge discovery in databases. The method integrates a machine learning paradigm, especially learning-from- ..."
Abstract - Cited by 176 (15 self) - Add to MetaCart
these principles, a prototyped database learning system, DBLEARN, has been constructed for experimentation.

Multimedia Database Systems

by Sherry Marcus, V. S. Subrahmanian - Journal of the ACM , 1993
"... Though there are now numerous examples of multimedia systems in the commercial market, these systems have been developed primarily on a case-by-case basis. The largescale development of such systems requires a principled characterization of multimedia systems which is independent of any single appli ..."

A Graph-Oriented Object Database Model

by Marc Gyssens, Jan Paredaens, Jan Van Den Bussche, Dirk Van Gucht , 1990
"... A graph-oriented object database model (GOOD) is introduced as a theoretical basis for database systems in which manipulation as well as conceptual representation of data is transparently graph-based. In the GOOD model, the scheme as well as the instance of an object database is represented by a gra ..."
Abstract - Cited by 113 (17 self) - Add to MetaCart
. The expressiveness of the model in terms of object-oriented modeling and data manipulation power is investigated. Index terms: Database models, query languages, graph transformations, objectoriented databases, user interfaces. Preliminary versions of this paper were presented at the 9th ACM Symposium on Principles

Orthogonally Persistent Object Systems

by Malcolm Atkinson, Ronald Morrison - VLDB JOURNAL , 1995
"... Persistent Application Systems (PASs) are of increasing social and economic importance. They have the potential to be long-lived, concurrently accessed and consist of large bodies of data and programs. Typical examples of PASs are CAD/CAM systems, office automation, CASE tools, software engineer ..."

that is independent of its lifetime thereby integrating the database view of information with the programming language view. This yields a number of advantages in terms of orthogonal design and programmer productivity which are beneficial for PASs. Design principles have been proposed for persistent systems

Whose Vote Should Count More: Optimal Integration of Labels from Labelers of Unknown Expertise

by Jacob Whitehill, Paul Ruvolo, Tingfan Wu, Jacob Bergsma, Javier Movellan
"... Modern machine learning-based approaches to computer vision require very large databases of hand labeled images. Some contemporary vision systems already require on the order of millions of images for training (e.g., Omron face detector [9]). New Internet-based services allow for a large number of l ..."
