5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Advanced Topics in Database Research, August 26, 2002
This review is from: Advanced Topics in Database Research, Vol. 1 (Advanced Topics in Database Research Series) (Hardcover)
As a college professor, I have found a plethora of applications for "Advanced Topics in Database Research". I recommend this book to my students, to aid them in their courses. For example, the UML chapters are invaluable for documentation of object-oriented language applications in my Systems Analysis class. Further, the topics covered on cardinality and object-oriented database benchmarks are extremely useful in my Database class. My students can often find the answers to their questions on database applications within the content of this book series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Biased review, September 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Topics in Database Research, Vol. 1 (Advanced Topics in Database Research Series) (Hardcover)
As a contributor to this book, my review is certainly biased, but I nonetheless found the chapters I did not contribute to very useful. This book covers a wide range of research topics from modeling (E/R, UML) to object-oriented considerations, active databases, semi-structured documents (XML), and the web. Each topic is treated through several thourough papers. I recommend it for both advanced database courses/students and researchers.
