Overview
Constraints and Databases contains seven contributions on the rapidly evolving research area of constraints and databases. This collection of original research articles has been compiled as a tribute to Paris C. Kanellakis, one of the pioneers in the field.
Constraints have long been used for maintaining the integrity of databases. More recently, constraint databases have emerged where databases store and manipulate data in the form of constraints. The generality of constraint databases makes them highly attractive for many applications. Constraints provide a uniform mechanism for describing heterogenous data, and advanced constraint solving methods can be used for efficient manipulation of constraint data.
The articles included in this book cover the range of topics involving constraints and databases; join algorithms, evaluation methods, applications (e.g. data mining) and implementations of constraint databases, as well as more traditional topics such as integrity constraint maintenance.
Constraints and Databases is an edited volume of original research comprising invited contributions by leading researchers.

This reprint of the journal (v.2, nos.3 &4) presents seven articles on topics involving constraints and databases, and particularly, databases that store and manipulate constraints in tuples. The authors discuss a class of programs related to Petri nets, an evaluation method parametric, the design and implementation of an object-oriented database, the evaluation of recursive programs, query evaluation strategies for databases that store linear arithmetic constraints, and an application for refining genome maps.
