This volume contains the 13 best of the 18 papers presented at the first MFDBS conference held in Dresden, GDR, January 19-23, 1987. A short summary of the two panel discussions is also included. The volume is intended to be a reflection of the current state of knowledge and a guide to further development in database theory. The main topics covered are: theoretical fundaments of the relational data model (dependency theory, design theory, null values, query processing, complexity theory), and of its extensions (graphical representations, NF2-models), conceptual modelling of distributed...

This volume is a collection of the most important contributions presented at the second MFDBS conference held in Visegrad, Hungary, June 26-30, 1989. The papers selected from more than one hundred submissions, originating from 23 countries in 4 continents, can be roughly divided into the following sections: theoretical fundamentals of relational databases, logical foundations and databases, data modelling, database design, deductive databases, transaction management and security, concurrency control and distributed databases. The volume reflects the current state of knowledge and is a guide...

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Fundamentals of Computation Theory held in Szeged, Hungary, August 21-25, 1989.

The papers collected in this volume are the texts of invited contributions and shorter communications falling into one of the following sections: - Efficient Computation by Abstract Devices: Automata, Computability, Probabilistic Computations, Parallel and Distributed Computing; - Logics and Meanings of Programs: Algebraic and Categorical...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2004, held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 2004.

The 27 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 130 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on constraint databases, deductive databases, heterogenous and Web information systems, cross enterprise information systems, knowledge discovery, database modeling, XML and semistructured databases, physical database design...
