The entity-relationship model—toward a unified view of data

Peter Pin-Shan Chen · 1 Mar 1976

A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed. This model incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world. A special diagrammatic technique is introduced as a tool for database design. An example of database design and description using the model and the diagrammatic technique is given. Some implications for data integrity,…

DBSCAN Revisited, Revisited

Erich Schubert, Jörg Sander, Martin Ester et al. · 31 Jul 2017

At SIGMOD 2015, an article was presented with the title “DBSCAN Revisited: Mis-Claim, Un-Fixability, and Approximation” that won the conference’s best paper award. In this technical correspondence, we want to point out some inaccuracies in the way DBSCAN was represented, and why the criticism should have been directed at the assumption about the performance of…

TinyDB: an acquisitional query processing system for sensor networks

Samuel Madden, Michael J. Franklin, Joseph M. Hellerstein et al. · 1 Mar 2005

We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired ( sampled ) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acquiring data, we are able to significantly…

Extending the database relational model to capture more meaning

E. F. Codd · 1 Dec 1979

During the last three or four years several investigators have been exploring “semantic models” for formatted databases. The intent is to capture (in a more or less formal way) more of the meaning of the data so that database design can become more systematic and the database system itself can behave more intelligently. Two major…

On optimistic methods for concurrency control

H. T. Kung, John T. Robinson · 1 Jun 1981

Most current approaches to concurrency control in database systems rely on locking of data objects as a control mechanism. In this paper, two families of nonlocking concurrency controls are presented. The methods used are “optimistic” in the sense that they rely mainly on transaction backup as a control mechanism, “hoping” that conflicts between transactions will…
