In this paper we consider an approach to developing complex database schemas. Apart
from the theoretical model of the approach, we also developed a CASE tool named …

The paper considers an original approach to the process of integration of complex database
schemas. Apart from the proposed theoretical model of the approach, we also developed a …

The inverse referential integrity constraints (IRICs) are specialization of non-key-based
inclusion dependencies (INDs). Keybased INDs (referential integrity constraints) may be …

IIS* Case is an integrated CASE tool that supports the automation and intelligent support of
complex and highly formalized design and programming tasks in the development of an …

The paper presents the form type concept that generalizes screen forms that users utilize to
communicate with an information system. The concept is semantically rich enough to enable …

Many software engineering activities entail dealing with legacy information systems. When
these systems become too costly to maintain, or when new technologies need to be …

The initial assumption is that a database schema is produced by the integration of
simultaneously and independently designed subschemas. The notion of a subschema is …

Platform independent modeling of information systems and generation of their prototypes
play an important role in software development process. However, not all tasks in this …

The inclusion dependencies (INDs) convey much information on the data structure and data
semantics. There are two basic kinds of INDs: key-based INDs and non-key-based INDs …

In this paper we present a segment of our research efforts focused on meta-models relating
to databases. We developed a meta-model of relational database schema and here we deal …
