Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolving landscape of information systems integration, arguing that disparate databases need to work together within and across organizational boundaries to increase productivity. It defines and outlines the problems that must be overcome to attain logical connectivity in what the author terms Composite Information Systems (CIS). The author presents a novel approach to resolve these problems by enhancing the semantic power of database integration. This approach leverages concepts drawn from frame-based knowledge representation and rule-based inferencing. An object-oriented prototype illustrates the process involved in formulating composite answers where multiple levels of abstraction are required. The author concludes that the insights detailed within this book open up strategic database applications by increasing organizational efficiency across functions and divisions through enhanced quality of service and reduced reprocessing costs.
