β¦ Synopsis
This paper focuses on some issues related to the integration o f database and programming language concepts and the usefulness of this integration for integrity maintenance. The first section explains why compilation should be independent of the database and presents some consequences of this independence. The second section shows how procedures become integral parts of the database and serve to implement automatic maintenance of designer~lefined integrity by being automatically invoked upon database operations. The third section develops a particular scheme for integrity maintenance with these procedures. Finally, in the fourth section, semantic integrity is extended to system integrity and it is suggested that the scheme developed in the third section can apply to system integirty.

The paper presents a formal language for specifying database schema transformations. This language consists of a set of primitive operators and a composition operator. Each of the primitive operators has associated the conditions under which it can be applied. A rule is given for generating the appl
This paper presents BCL, a border-based coordination language focused on the solution of numerical applications. Our approach provides a simple parallelism model. Coordination and computational aspects are clearly separated. The former are established using the coordination language and the latter a
This paper explores the concept of user programming languages for CAD systems. A functional explanation of these languages is given, along with examples of how such extensions to a basic CAD system can be used to improve the productivity of the CA D system. A three step approach to improving system
