Contribution to a Theory of Database Reverse Engineering

چکیده
The paper proposes both a general framework and specific techniques for file and database reverse engineering, i.e. recovering its conceptual schema. The framework relies on a process/product model that matches formal as well as empirical design procedures. Based on the analysis of database design processes, two major phases are defined, namely Data structure extraction and Data structure conceptualization. For each of them, a set of activities is proposed. Most of these activities can be described as transformation and integration of specifications.

A 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 کاملImproving LNMF Performance of Facial Expression Recognition via Significant Parts Extraction using Shapley Value
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithms have been utilized in a wide range of real applications. NMF is done by several researchers to its part based representation property especially in the facial expression recognition problem. It decomposes a face image into its essential parts (e.g. nose, lips, etc.) but in all previous attempts, it is neglected that all features achieved by NMF ...
