CHIQL is a new database query language to satisfy the requests of Chinese users and has the features of naturalness and simplicity, procedural and multi-statement query. As a main feature, procedurality enable users to use multi-statements to express a query with 11 templates, especially concerning complex one. In term of its implementation, multi-statement optimization is a special issue in CHIQL. This paper devises a statement merge method to improve the efficiency of CHIQL query and give some qualitative analysis about it.

Active database systems use situation-action rules to define which action has to be taken vt hen a particular situation occurs. Situation diagrams, which are introduced in this paper, provide a high-level graphical representation of situations for the conceptual design of active object-oriented databases. A situation is specified declaratively as a graphical query with temporal and logical conditions over members of object classes, event classes, and interval classes.

As a large amount of hypermedia data is collected the question of storing these data in hypermedia databases arises. One of the problems encountered is how to separate applications from the data so that the same data can be used by many applications and changes to data organization have-besides execution-time-no effect on applications. In conventional databases this problem is solved by the concept of physical data independence. We argue that the concept of physical data independence can be applied beneficially to hypermedia databases, too. So far, while the demand for physical data independence has been voiced in a number of papers, only partial solutions have been proposed. We describe the part of a hypermedia database management system which deals with physical data independence and show how an existing database management system can be extended in this direction. In particular; we present a dataBlade for Ilustra, extending Illustra with physical data independence for images.

Active object/behavior diagrams are introduced for the conceptual design of active object-oriented databases. They provide a high-level representation of active object-oriented database schemes, eg., ER-diagrams represent conventional database schemes. Object diagrams depict the structure of object types by a set of properties. Behavior diagrams depict the behavior of object types by a set of scales and activities. A behavior diagram specifies which activities may be invoked on instances of an object type and gives necessary pre- and postconditions for activity invocations. Activation scripts specify the active behavior of object types. They define sufficient conditions for activities to activities using events and guards. Events specify when activities are performed. Guards determine the objects for which the activity is executed. During logical design, properties of object diagrams are mapped into instance variables of object types, activities of behavior diagrams into methods, and activation scripts into event-condition-action rules.< >

In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest among the computing community in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in the areas of natural language processing and knowledge-based systems (KBS). The medical domain has seen the development of hundreds of KBSs and there is substantial evidence to show that the application of a knowledge-based approach to decision support can go a long way towards overcoming the information overload experienced by many clinicians today. Yet many of these medical KBSs are still at the prototype stage and are mainly confined to research laboratories. There are many reasons for this apparently slow take-up of the technology, but one of the most significant is the lack of integration into the regular routine information processing of the organisation, in particular the database processing. This paper discusses the benefits of such integration and methods for achieving it in the context of general trends in information systems. database technology provides efficient and secure management of large amounts of data in a multi-user, multiapplication environment. knowledge-based technology, on the other hand, provides mechanisms for building intelligent systems. Thus, for example, given a set of facts about a domain (symptoms, laboratory test results, etc.) together with a set of rules which apply to that domain (e.g.'if TT4 > 150 nmol/l then suspect hyperthyroidism'), a KBS can deduce new information about that domain automatically. The effective integration of these two technologies is seen as a means of achieving the intelligent information systems of the future. There are three basic approaches to integrating KBSs and databases. The first is to start with the KBS and incorporate data management functions. Alternatively, intelligence from the KBS can be incorporated into the database. Finally, the two systems can be allowed to coexist as independent systems which can talk to each other by means of standard interfaces.

A valuable technique during concept development is rapid prototyping of software for key design components. This approach is particularly useful when the optimum design approach is not readily apparent or several known alternatives need to be rapidly evaluated. A problem inherent in rapid prototyping is the lack of a "target system" with which to interface. Some alternatives are to develop test driver libraries, integrate the prototype with an existing working simulator, or build one for the specific problem. This paper presents a unique approach to concept development using rapid prototyping for concept development and scenario-based simulation for concept verification. The rapid prototyping environment, derived from artificial intelligence technology, is based on a blackboard architecture. The rapid prototype simulation capability is provided through an object-oriented modeling environment. It is shown how both simulation and blackboard technologies are used collectively to rapidly gain insight into a tenacious problem. A specific example will be discussed where this approach was used to evolve the logic of a mission controller for an autonomous underwater vehicle.

This paper describes a modularized AI system being built to help improve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) among shipboard topside equipment and their associated systems. CLEER is intended to act as an easy to use integrator of existing expert knowledge and pre-existing data bases and large scale analytical models. Due to these interfaces; to the need for portability of the software; and to artificial intelligence related design requirements (such as the need for spatial reasoning, expert data base management, model base management, track-based reasoning, and analogical (similar ship) reasoning) it was realized that traditional expert system shells would be inappropriate, although relatively off-the-shelf AI technology could be incorporated. In the same vein, the rapid prototyping approach to expert system design and knowledgeengineering was not pursued in favor of a rigorous systems engineering methodology. The critical design decisions affecting CLEER's development are summarized in this paper along with lessons learned to date all in terms of “how,” “why,” and “when” specific features are being developed.
