Object-oriented DBMS requirements

The requirements on an object-oriented DBMS for management of information in a large, complex enterprise are presented. These requirements aid in the achievement of an environment characterized by data sharing, open architectures, application and data portability, and assurance of data integrity. They were defined from the point of view of a user of the DBMS; therefore they describe the expected functionality of the DBMS and do not specify the method of implementation to achieve this functionality. They encompass requirements on the data model, query and data manipulation languages, the system architecure, interfaces to the system, change management, and transaction management.     

Object data MODEL = object-oriented + semantic models

The term ‘object-oriented database’ has been used to refer to different characteristics and mechanisms supported by semantic databases and (behaviorally) object-oriented ones. While this indicates the current confusion due to the lack of a common model, it also suggests the potential desirability of combining these two kinds of modeling facilities into the same nutshell. This paper summarizes from these two paradigms the features common to both, the features influenced/adopted by each other, and the features which are presented in one paradigm but missing from the other. After a brief analysis and discussion of these features, we conclude this paper by proposing our major theme: a complete object data model should take the union of the facilities offered by these two kinds of models.     

扇形束投影域重建—再投影迭代法

本文所提出的投影域重建——再投影迭代算法可以恢复不完整的扇形束投影数据,从而实现从有限的投影数据重建图象。这种算法把滤波——反投影图象重建过程和再投影的过程纳入一个公式,仅在投影域上估算未知的投影数据,因此避免了重建过程和反投影过程中的插值运算,改善了收敛性,提高了计算精度,缩短了运算时间。模拟实验表明:即使有70％的投影数据丢失,经过两次迭代就能以令人满意的精度恢复丢失的投影数据。     

Review of Le choc de l'informatique: Les répercussions psychosociales et le r?le des attitudes.

Reviews the book, ILe choc de l'informatique: Les répercussions psychosociales et le r?le des attitudes by Serge Guimond and Guy Bégin (1987). This monograph is concise and easy to read. The reader knows immediately that technological questions will be explored, as well as the psychological and human questions being attached to the new use of information technology. Three fields are covered, each one the subject of a chapter: 1) computers in the educational circle; 2) computers and work; and 3) computers in the house.

Important features of Iris OSQL

OSQL is the object-oriented database language developed for the Iris object-oriented database management system at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. Its three fundamental constructs are objects, types, and functions. This paper provides an overview of the underlying concepts and some important features of OSQL.     

Overcoming the luddite factor: some behavioural aspects of the field supervisor's role in construction planning

The way data is presented can seriously affect the ease with which it can be understood. The objectives and results of a survey of different types of presentation are given. Some psychological aspects of the problem are analysed.     

Modified CIELAB formula tested using a textile pass/fail data set

The proposed new color-difference formula of CIE TC 129, which is a modified version of CIELAB, was tested with a recently published data set of textile pass/fail judgments. Goodness of fit is improved, if the parameter of lightness is set near 2, and if, additionally, a weight function for lightness is defined that reduces the weight of a lightness difference with lightness level in relation to chroma or hue scaling. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Analysis of polarization plane rotation characteristic in 2D photonic crystal waveguide with chiral medium by condensed node spatial network

Using the photonic band gap in photonic crystals, the fundamental waveguide structures for the light wavelength range have been developed. Based on the fine structure of these many functional devices have been proposed by analytical or numerical simulation methods and the experiments of trial manufacture. In this paper, the treatment of chiral dielectric in the Condensed Node Spatial Network for the vector potential is explained, and we show the polarization plane rotation property in air‐hole and pillar type photonic crystal waveguide structures with the chiral medium substrate. Then, we show the fundamental advantage of the air‐hole type photonic crystal waveguide structure in application to a mode converter. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A weighted multivariate Fuzzy C-Means method in interval-valued scientific production data

Clustering is the process of organizing objects into groups whose members are similar in some way. Most of the clustering methods involve numeric data only. However, this representation may not be adequate to model complex information which may be: histogram, distributions, intervals. To deal with these types of data, Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) was developed. In multivariate data analysis, it is common some variables be more or less relevant than others and less relevant variables can mask the cluster structure. This work proposes a clustering method based on fuzzy approach that produces weighted multivariate memberships for interval-valued data. These memberships can change at each iteration of the algorithm and they are different from one variable to another and from one cluster to another. Furthermore, there is a different relevance weight associated to each variable that may also be different from one cluster to another. The advantage of this method is that it is robust to ambiguous cluster membership assignment since weights represent how important the different variables are to the clusters. Experiments are performed with synthetic data sets to compare the performance of the proposed method against other methods already established by the clustering literature. Also, an application with interval-valued scientific production data is presented in this work. Clustering quality results have shown that the proposed method offers higher accuracy when variables have different variabilities.
