  • WDBC pattern web service for data access 
    Bouorm, Ramez (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2005)
    The classic way for communication between database and applications is performed using ODBC (for standard applications) and DLL files (for distributed applications). The job of theses API's is to connect to database for sending and retrieving information. We introduce the WDBC pattern that is designed to do the same tasks but in addition, it guarantees the safety of data (by doing backup of database over the network) and can be integrated in an application that is created with different programming languages and running on different operating systems.
  • The weak revision as a new change operator for belief bases 
    Nassif, Jacques (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2003)
    This thesis starts by exploring background areas of study such as incomplete and uncertain information in relational database, belief change in artificial intelligence. It also reminds of how some types of incompleteness and uncertainly can be modeled through disjunctive databases. The paper describes the language being used in addition to some update operators. This thesis then brings to light a new theory in belief change called the weak revision. It first shows the need for such a new operator through a real life example. Second it introduces this new operator by defining its general behavior. ...
  • "Web Rings" and Tree structures on the web 
    Mouawad, Maurice T. (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2001-06)
    The web is a vast source of information. However, due to the divisiveness and unlikeness of web pages' contents, this information is covered in the chaotic structure of the World Wide Web. At the same time, with the spread of web access, search engines are being, if not the sole utility, one of the most mechanisms used by the increasing number of users, to find interesting information. We are interested in identifying how pieces of information represented by URL pages, sharing common topics, are related as they are represented on the web. One such problem is studying patterns of occurrences of ...
