Temporal Information Processing Technology and Its Applications [Hardcover]

Temporal Information Processing Technology and Its Applications systematically studies temporal information processing technology and its applications. The book covers following subjects: 1) time model, calculus and logic; 2) temporal data models, semantics of temporal variable now temporal database concepts; 3) temporal query language, a typical temporal database management system: TempDB; 4) temporal extension on XML, workflow and knowledge base; and, 5) implementation patterns of temporal applications, a typical example of temporal application.The book is intended for researchers, practitioners and graduate students of databases, data/knowledge management and temporal information processing.Dr. Yong Tang is a professor at the Computer School, South China Normal University, China.Presenting a systematic introduction to temporal model and time calculation, this volume explores temporal information processing technology and its applications. Topics include the time model in terms of calculus and logic, temporal data models and database concepts, temporal query language, and more.
