The automatic processing of handwriting samples is part of the computational biometric. It applies qualitative and quantitative techniques by means of capturing, visualizing, and...

It is a usual practice to use natural language in any document intended for clients and users in the requirements engineering process of a software development. This facilitates...

Requirements engineering is frequently seen as the activity of the software engineering process with fewer tools. Usually there are only available graphic and text editing aids....

Literature shows that the elicitation techniques used in a requirements engineering process are often chosen based on the particular characteristics of the application context...

There are a variety of new directions in which databases are growing, revealing new and exciting challenges and promising changes for the whole of society. The Handbook of...

The difficulties that software developers must face to understand and elicit clients’ and users’ necessities are widely known. The more complex the context of the problem, the...

Requirements engineering (RE) is the area of software engineering responsible for the elicitation and definition of the software system requirements. This task implies joining...

The key of the success or failure of a software project depends on solving the right problem (Rumbaugh, 1994; Sawyer, 2005). Thus, software requirements should be correct...

There are a myriad of new directions in which databases are growing, presenting new and exciting challenges that promise flux in the whole society, because of the impact and...

One of the factors that stimulated the development of database technology was the need to guarantee the consistency of the stored data. On the other hand, the demand to process...

One of the driving forces that stimulated the emergence of database technology was the need to guarantee the quality of the data stored. The software design is impacted by the...

Data properties should be seen from the point of view of being as independent as possible from the representation model. In this way, data properties can be analyzed from two...

In Part I, this chapter surveys the state of the art of the semantic integrity constraints in some relational and object relational available database systems. In Part II, it...

The evaluation of conceptual schemes of actual databases may result in the discovery of inclusion dependencies. An inclusion dependency is defined as the existence of attributes...
