Szafron, Duane, Ozsu, M. Tamer, Li, John
Technical report TR95-25. Declarative query languages are an important feature of database management systems and have played an important role in their success. As database management technology enters the multimedia information system area, the availability of special-purpose query languages...

Cutumisu, M., McNaughton, M., Parker, D., Schaeffer, Jonathan, Redford, J., Szafron, Duane
Technical report TR04-05. Recently, some researchers have argued that generative design patterns (GDPs) can leverage the obvious design re-use that characterizes traditional design patterns into code re-use. This paper provides additional evidence that GDPs are both useful and productive. ...

Technical report TR96-05. In this paper we consider various spatial relationships that are of general interest for retrieving data from multimedia databases. We present a unified representation of spatial objects for both topological and directional relations. Such a representation is based on...

Technical report TR92-20. Workstations have been in use for more than a decade now. Although a network of workstations represents a large amount of aggregate computing power, there is a need for software that can harness this power for single, distributed applications. Enterprise is an...

Leontiev, Yuri, Ozsu, M. Tamer, Szafron, Duane
Technical report TR98-01. In this paper we present a type system that combines inclusion and parametric polymorphism with behaviors (multi-methods) and precise function typing. Type declarations allow user-definable variance specification of type parameters and user-definable subtyping between...

Peters, Randal J., Ozsu, M. Tamer, Szafron, Duane, Lipka, Anna
Technical report TR93-01. The establishment of a formal object model provides a theoretical foundation to investigate other objectbase features such as query processing. In this report, we present an extensible uniform behavioral object query model for the TIGUKAT(*) object management system. ...

Peters, Randal J., Szafron, Duane, Ozsu, M. Tamer
Technical report TR92-14. Object-oriented computing is influencing many areas of computer science including software engineering, user interfaces, operating systems, programming languages and database systems. The appeal of object-orientation is attributed to its higher levels of abstraction for...

Ozsu, M. Tamer, Goralwalla, Iqbal, Li, John, Szafron, Duane
Technical report TR96-02. Video modeling has become a topic of increasing interest in the area of multimedia research. One of the key aspects in the video medium is the temporal relationship between video frames. In this report1 we propose a tree based model for specifying spatial and temporal...

Schaeffer, Jonathan, Szafron, Duane, Tan, Kai, Anvik, John
Technical report TR03-13. Parallel programming is seen as an effective technique to improve the performance of computationally-intensive programs. This is done at the cost of increasing the complexity of the program, since new issues must be addressed for a concurrent application. Parallel...
