Beschreibung:

The papers in this volume were presented at the
International Conference on Database Theory, held in Berlin,
Germany, October 14-16, 1992. This conference initiated the
merger of two series of conferences on theoretical aspects
of databases that were formed in parallel by different
scientific communities in Europe. The first series was known
as the International Conference on Database Theory and the
second as the Symposium on Mathematical Fundamentals of
Database Systems. In the future, ICDT will be organized
every two years, alternating with the more practically
oriented series of conferences on Extending Database
Technology (EDBT).
The volume contains 3 invited lectures and 26 contributed
papers selected from a total of 107 submissions. The papers
are organized into sections on constraints and
decomposition, query languages, updates and active
databases, concurrency control and recovery, knowledge
bases, datalog complexity and optimization, object
orientation, information capacity and security, and data
structures and algorithms. Two of the invited papers survey
research into theoretical database issues done in Eastern
Europe during the past decade.
