A conceptual language for querying object oriented data (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1994, July). A conceptual language for querying object oriented data. Presented at 12th British National Conference on Database: Directions in Databases - BNCOD12, 1994

A variety of languages have been proposed for object oriented database systems in order to provide facilities for ad hoc querying. However, in order to model at the conceptual level, an object oriented schema definition language must itself provide f... Read More about A conceptual language for querying object oriented data.

describes two approaches to solving the problem using
evolutionary algorithms.... Read More about Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms..

A general model for the answer-pertubation techniques. (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stamate, D., Luchian, H., & Paechter, B. (1994, September). A general model for the answer-pertubation techniques

Answer-perturbation techniques for the protection
of statistical databases were introduced in [7]; they
are flexible (perturbation kept under control),
modular (do not interact with the DBMS)
techniques, which compare fmorably to previous

Viewing objects. (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1993, July). Viewing objects. Presented at 11th British National Conference on Database System, Keele, UK

This paper examines the incorporation of database views into an object oriented conceptual model. An approach is presented where views are themselves objects, instances of view classes. These view objects provide new ways of interacting with preexist... Read More about Viewing objects..

Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance. (1993)
Report
Cockshott, W. P., Cowie, A., Russell, G., & McGregor, D. (1993). Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance

The paper argues that recent developments in non-volatile solid-state store allow a new implementation paradigm for databases. This involves replacing slow rotating storage with all-semiconductor data stores. A mechanism is presented to achieve high...

A survey of architectures for memory resident databases. (1993)
Report
Russell, G., & Cockshott, W. P. (1993). A survey of architectures for memory resident databases

Persistent object oriented architectures have been researched for many years, deriving initially from the Manchester University Atlas machine. In reality however, few actual implementations of persistent architectures exist. In the first half of this... Read More about A survey of architectures for memory resident databases..

Waithe, S., & Kerridge, J. (1993, March). An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3. Presented at 16th World occam* and Transputer User Group Technical Meeting (WoTUG-16), Sheffield, UK

By exploiting virtual channels implemented on the INMOS T9000 transputer, occam3 offers the facility of sharing. This allows us to declare a channel as SHARED which then allows an arbitrary number of processes to communicate across this channel. By m...
