About this title

About the Author

SUZANNE W. DIETRICH is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Arizona State University. Her current research focuses on the application of active, declarative and object-oriented database technology to designing event-based enterprise applications by integrating distributed components using rules. Dr. Dietrich's research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, including the investigation of active rule processing and the development of novel approaches to undergraduate database education. She has numerous publications and is the author of Understanding Relational Database Query Languages (Prentice Hall 2001).

SUSAN D. URBAN is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Arizona State University. Her research interests include object-oriented data modeling as well as event, rule, and transaction processing for enterprise application integration. Dr. Urban has been the recipient of several research grants from the National Science Foundation for her research on constraints, active rule processing, the use of databases in engineering design, and the development of innovative teaching concepts for database instruction. She has published numerous refereed papers and book chapters on the results of her research.

From the Back Cover

An Advanced Course in Database Systems goes beyond the relational database coverage of a typical first course and offers readers a carefully researched set of topics specifically designed for a second course in database systems: object-oriented conceptual data modeling, object-oriented databases, object-relational databases, arid databases and the Web, The target audience of the book is anyone who understands relational database technology, including both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the database professional. The book bridges the gap between the UML and EER abject-oriented conceptual data models, guiding the reader through the latest technological advances ire object databases and the integration of databases and the World-Wide Web.
