Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of the project is to devise and evaluate algorithms, methodologies, techniques, and interaction paradigms to build a tool for conceptual modelling and query management of complex data repositories, based on a framework with solid formal foundations.To achieve the objectives stated above, the research programme has been divided into two main strands of research. In the first strand, a methodology for conceptual design will be devised, and a tool supporting it will be implemented. In the second strand, the query management problems will be studied - in the presence of the previously devised conceptual model: a global framework will be introduced, various basic algorithms for the difference tasks involved in query management will be considered, and a tool integrated with the conceptual modelling tool - will be implemented.
