Clarification

The most prominent Web applications in use today are data-intensive. Scores of database direction systems beyond the Net access and maintain large amounts of structured data for eastward-commerce, on-line trading, banking, digital libraries, and other high-volume sites.

Developing and maintaining these data-intensive applications is an especially circuitous, multi-disciplinary activity, requiring all the tools and techniques that software engineering can provide. This volume represents a breakthrough for Spider web application developers. Using hundreds of illustrations and an elegant intuitive modeling language, the authors—all internationally-known database researchers—present a methodology that fully exploits the conceptual modeling approach of software engineering, from idea to application. Readers will learn not only how to harness the design technologies of relational databases for use on the Web, but also how to transform their conceptual designs of information-intensive Web applications into effective software components.

Developing and maintaining these data-intensive applications is an especially complex, multi-disciplinary activity, requiring all the tools and techniques that software technology can provide. This book represents a breakthrough for Web application developers. Using hundreds of illustrations and an elegant intuitive modeling language, the authors—all internationally-known database researchers—present a methodology that fully exploits the conceptual modeling approach of software technology, from thought to application. Readers will acquire not simply how to harness the design technologies of relational databases for use on the Web, but besides how to transform their conceptual designs of data-intensive Web applications into effective software components.
