Tegola tiered mesh network testbed in rural Scotland
TL;DR: This paper presents an overview of the efforts in this direction in deploying a rural WiFibased long distance mesh network testbed in the Scottish Highlands and Islands and highlights the unique aspects of the testbed that differentiate it from other existing rural wireless testbeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inheritance and persistence in database programming languages
Peter Buneman,Malcolm Atkinson +1 more
TL;DR: This paper examines whether it is necessary to the together type, extent and persistence in order to model inheritance and suggests that they may be separated to provide more general database programming languages.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Interaction between path and type constraints
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that adding a type systems may in some cases simplify reasoning about path constraints and in other cases make it harder, and it is shown that there is a path constraint implication problem that is decidable in PTIME in the untyped context, but that becomes undecidable when a type system is added.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A semantics for complex objects and approximate queries
TL;DR: A new definition of complex objects is introduced which provides a denotation for incomplete tuples as well as partially described sets, and the use of rules in defining queries over such objects is examined.
