Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems VI

The specialized book "Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems VI" is a comprehensive collection of research findings that addresses the central themes of data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing in computer science. This publication is part of a series that has been ongoing since the 1990s, documenting developments in data and knowledge management systems. In light of the increasing interconnectivity and the demand for resource distribution, the focus has shifted from centralized to decentralized systems that enable large, distributed applications. The works included in this volume, selected from the DEXA 2011 conference, offer extended and revised versions of contributions that deal with innovative approaches and technologies in this field. The topics covered range from skyline queries to probabilistic logic, as well as conceptual modeling and the validation of XML integrity constraints.
