Database Theory - ICDT '95

TRAMA

This volume presents the proceedings of the 1995 International Conference on Database Theory, ICDT '95, held in Prague in January 1995.Besides two full invited papers and the abstracts of two tutorials, the book includes the revised full versions of 29 technical contributions selected from a total of 116 submissions. The papers address all current aspects of database theory; they are organized in sections on optimization, nonmonotonic semantics, query languages, concurrency control, advanced models, probabilistic methods, constraints and dependencies, and Datalog analysis.
