Workshops of the 24th British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD 2007) : Glagow, Lanarkshire, United Kingdom - 02-06 July 2007

The BNCOD workshops is an international gathering that attracts participants representing a wide range of interests in databases and information retrieval. BNCOD 2007 discusses emerging aspects of database technology from students, researchers and practitioners with the aim of developing understanding, exchanging experiences and building research communities. Database research has been an enduring feature in the evolution of computer science and the indications are that database technology will underpin many of the exciting developments now in prospect.Database systems developed to manage either enterprise wide data accessed through a client-server architecture or smaller data intensive tasks through desktop applications. Now data held in databases permeate the globally connected computing infrastructure and are accessed through a variety of network architectures. Database applications have grown in variety and complexity, while issues such as security, integrity and query processing have thrown up new challenges. Finally, the representation of data has changed through the emergence of XML to describe both stored and transmitted data.Contents: Workshops on the Teaching, Learning and Assessment in Databases (TLAD 2007); BNCODwebim 2007IEEE Computer Society Staff is the author of 'Workshops of the 24th British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD 2007) : Glagow, Lanarkshire, United Kingdom - 02-06 July 2007', published 2007 under ISBN 9780769529127 and ISBN 0769529127.
