The Database Normalization Theory and the Theory of Normalized Systems: Finding a Common Ground
نویسنده
چکیده
Database normalization theory offers formalized guidelines how to reduce data redundancy and thus problems that it causes in databases. More lately, researchers have started to formalize ideas that the problems caused by unwanted dependencies and redundancy can be observed in case of any modular system like software, hardware, or organization. To tackle these problems, they have proposed the theory of normalized systems that complete application frees systems of combinatorial effects and thus the impact of a change in a system does not depend on the system size. At the time of writing this paper, the explanations of the theory of normalized systems do not say much about database normalization. We think that the theories are deeply related. In this paper, we search a common ground of the database normalization theory and the theory of normalized systems.

On Applying Normalized Systems Theory to the Business Architectures of Information Systems
Application of the database normalization theory and the principle of orthogonal design allows us to reduce data redundancy in relational/SQL databases and hence avoid certain update anomalies and simplify development of database applications. The normalized systems theory for achieving modular and highly evolvable systems has similar goals in case of distributing the tasks of a system between ...
متن کاملA New Approach for Knowledge Based Systems Reduction using Rough Sets Theory (RESEARCH NOTE)
Problem of knowledge analysis for decision support system is the most difficult task of information systems. This paper presents a new approach based on notions of mathematical theory of Rough Sets to solve this problem. Using these concepts a systematic approach has been developed to reduce the size of decision database and extract reduced rules set from vague and uncertain data. The method ha...

متن کاملDesign and Psychometric Evaluation of a Questionnaire for Finding the Factors Affecting the Acceptance and Use of the Picture Archiving and Communication Systems in Iran Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology
Objective: One of the major challenges in the implementation of the Picture Archiving And Communication System (PACS) is the attitudes of physicians towards the system. This study aims to design and assess the psychometric properties of a questionnaire for identifying the factors affecting the acceptance and use of PACS in Iran based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and use of Technology (UT...
متن کاملUsing game theory approach to interpret stable policies for Iran’s oil and gas common resources conflicts with Iraq and Qatar
Oil and gas as the non-renewable resources are considered very valuable for the countries with petroleum economics. These resources are not only diffused equally around the world, but also they are common in some places which their neighbors often come into conflicts. Consequently, it is vital for those countries to manage their resource utilization. Lately, game theory was applied in conflict ...
