Ma Z. Advances in Fuzzy Object-Oriented Databases: Modeling and Applications

Idea Group Inc., 2005. – 354 p. – ISBN: 1591403847Collecting the latest research results from the leading researchers in the field of fuzzy object-oriented databases, Advances in Fuzzy Object-Oriented Databases: Modeling and Applications provide a single source for current research and practical applications in fuzzy object-oriented databases. This book includes major aspects of fuzzy object-oriented database modeling - conceptual, logical and physical, as well as details of implementations and applications.
This book focuses on an important extension of the object-oriented paradigm that allows for the inclusion of fuzzy information in this paradigm and presents the latest research and application results in fuzzy object-oriented databases. Some major issues on concepts, semantics, models, design, implementation, and applications of fuzzy object-oriented databases will be investigated in the book. The different chapters in the book were contributed by different authors and provide possible solutions for the different types of technological problems con- cerning fuzzy object-oriented databases. Each of the contributors to the book is a leading researcher in the field of fuzzy object-oriented databases who has made numerous contributions to fuzzy information engineering.
