By: Fong, Joseph [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Cham : Springer International Publishing : [2015]Copyright date: ©2015 Edition: 3rd edition.Description: online resource (xvii, 391 pages) : illustrations.Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9783319122946 (paperback); 9783319122953 (e-book).Subject(s): Database management | Software engineering | Management information systemsAdditional physical formats: Print version: Information systems reengineering, integration and normalizationDDC classification: 005.1 Online resources: Access eBook Also available in print form.
Contents:
Information Systems Reengineering, Integration and Normalization -- Database and Expert System Technology -- Schema Transition -- Data Conversion -- Database Program Translation -- Database Management System Emulation -- Schema Integration -- Database and Expert-Systems Integration -- Data Normalization -- Conclusion.
Summary: Taking a very practical approach, the author describes in detail database conversion techniques, reverse engineering, forward engineering and re-engineering methodologies for information systems, offering a systematic software engineering approach for reusing existing database systems built with "old" technology. He demonstrates how the existing systems can be transformed into the new technologies with the preservation of semantic constraints and without loss of information. In this third edition, with a new chapter on Data Normalization the author shows once the databases have been converted, how to integrate them for consolidating information, and how to normalize them so that they are efficient and user friendly. Many examples, illustrations and case studies together with questions and answers ensure that the methodology is easy to follow. Ideal as a textbook for students studying information systems theories, Information Systems Reengineering Integration and Normalization will also be a valuable management reference book for Information Technology Practitioners. Additional material is available on http://extras.springer.com/978-3-319-12294-6.
