Abstract

In recent years, the enormous increase of independent databases widely accessible through computer networks has strongly motivated the interoperability among database systems. Interoperability allows the sharing and exchange of information and processes in heterogeneous, independent, and distributed database systems. This task is particularly important in the field of decision support systems. These systems through the analysis of data in very large databases identify the unusual trends in particular applications for creating opportunities for new business or for forecasting production needs.
