This paper evaluates current object-oriented analysis methods and proposes some possible improvements. We start by describing software requirements definition activities and reviewing the concepts of data modeling and object-orientation. We then identify k ...
SUPER is an exploratory project into the next generation of user-DBMS interfaces. Its main objective is to demonstrate that a visual paradigm can lead to powerful and user-friendly interfaces supporting all phases of the database life cycle (i.e. creation, ...
The first object-oriented analysis methods focused on the specification of the classes of a system and on the static relationships between them. Dynamic relationships between classes and the functional view of the system as a whole were neglected, and no m ...
Despite the well-established benefits of conceptual modeling for application design, current spatio-temporal conceptual models do not cope satisfactorily with designers' requirements. In this paper we first identify the goals of a spatio-temporal conceptua ...
A conceptual model provides the best support for federating heterogeneous datastores into a unified framework and elaborating a global consistent description of all available data. It therefore plays a central role for exchange of information within the co ...
The concepts of object oriented data models aim towards modeling of application objects close to the user's view. Yet developers of applications relying on object oriented database management systems are facing problems resulting from the limitations of ob ...
Nowadays, many applications need data modeling facilities for the description of complex objects with spatial and/or temporal facilities. Responses to such requirements may be found in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in some DBMS, or in the research ...
The code RETRAN-3D has been extensively applied in the project STARS at PSI to perform BE analysis for a range of operational and other (non-LOCA) transients for the Swiss NPPs, which include both PWRs and BWRs. Extensive assessment employing experimental ...
