...Why Normalization Failed to Become the Ultimate Guide for Database Designers? Marin Fotache Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Dept. of Business Information Systems Blvd. Carol I, nr. 22, Iasi, 700505, Romania Tel: + 40 744 497 654, Fax: + 40 232 217 000 fotache@uaic.ro ABSTRACT With an impressive theoretical foundation, normalization was supposed to bring rigor and relevance into such a slippery domain as database design is. Almost every database textbook treats normalization in a certain extent, usually suggesting that the topic is so clear and consolidated that it does not deserve deeper discussions. But the reality is completely different. After more than three decades, normalization not only has lost much of its interest in the research papers, but also is still looking for practitioners to apply it effectively. Despite the vast amount of database literature, comprehensive books illustrating the application of normalization to effective real-world applications are still waited. This paper reflects the point of 1 view of an Information Systems academic who incidentally has been for almost twenty years a practitioner in developing database applications. It outlines the main weaknesses of normalization and offers some explanations about the failure of a generous framework in becoming the so much needed universal guide for database designers. Practitioners might be interested in finding out (or confirming)...

...I. INTRODUCTION This IDoc describes use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to model and document Accounting Information Systems (AIS). The objective of modeling AIS is multifaceted and can be to: visualize, understand, summarize, detail, analyze, design, develop, implement, operate, secure, control, or audit the AIS. UML is a powerful modeling language and technique for all of these modeling tasks and is more robust and semantically superior to the commonly used Structured Analysis (SA) modeling tools of flowcharts (FC), data flow diagrams (DFD), and entity-relationship diagrams (ERD). Dr. White suggests that using UML diagrams as a tool to document AIS is a viable alternative to the Structured Analysis’s diagrams of FC, DFD, and ERD. What follows in Section II is a brief comparison of the two alternative approaches to systems documentation: Structured Analysis (SA) and Object Orientation (OO). Section III presents the definition and description of the major structural and behavioral elements used in UML including classifiers, instances, relationships, collaborations, activities, interactions, and states. Section IV discusses the organization and presentation of UML documentation of AIS as a collection of diagrams and packages. Section V contains various UML diagrams of the business revenue cycle (system) as examples of how to use UML to document a business system. Section VI contains examples of UML models of two special systems of great importance to accountants:...

...Information A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities For the purpose of this work a guest house is (also guesthouse) is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world a guest house is similar to a hostel, bed and breakfast, or inn whereas in other parts of the world (such as for example the Caribbean), guest houses are a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging and a hotel is a commercial establishment providing lodging, meals, and other guest services, both of which can be used interchangeably For this Project I would be using The Covenant University Guest House as my case study The Covenant University Guest house has 80 rooms which are divided into three categories; Executive deluxe rooms, mini suits and standard rooms. All rooms have intercoms, internet services and satellite television, it has a standard restaurant serving continental and national dishes,24hours room service, a mini mart, a gymnasium, laundry service with modern dry cleaning equipment, 3 large halls for exhibitions and conferences and a large secure cark park The Covenant University Guest house has 5 departments namely: 1.

... Conceptual Modeling for Virtual Reality Olga De Troyer, Frederic Kleinermann, Bram Pellens, and Wesley Bille WISE Research Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium {olga.detroyer,frederic.kleinermann,bram.pellens, Wesley.Bille}@vub.ac.be Abstract This paper explores the opportunities and challenges for Conceptual Modeling in the domain of Virtual Reality (VR). VR applications are becoming more feasible due to better and faster hardware, and due to new technology and faster network connections they also start to appear on the Internet. However, the development of such applications is still a specialized, time-consuming and expensive process. By introducing a Conceptual Modeling phase into the development process of VR applications, a number of the obstacles preventing a quick spread of this type of applications can be removed. However, existing Conceptual Modeling techniques are too limited for modeling a VR application in an appropriate way. The paper will show how Conceptual Modeling can be done for VR and how this may make VR more accessible to non VR-specialists. Furthermore, the paper will explain how Conceptual Modeling embedded in a semantic framework can provide the basis for semantically rich VR application, which may be essential for its success in the future and its use in the context of the Semantic Web. The paper will also point to some open research problems.. Keywords: Semantics. Virtual Reality, Conceptual Modeling, that the...

For many organisations, introducing new software implementation from scratch is a risk. This is because their requirements are not well defined or they don’t have enough expertise to understand and identifies software that can fit their problems. So, many organisations adopt software. That means they take analogy software (software developed for another organisation with the some similarities) and adopt it to fit their needs.

...CIS 510 DATABASE DESIGN (WEEK 2) Submitted by: ShaileshwarParimala Arshad Ahmed Mohammed Mohammed WajahathHussain SajjadHussain Syed Uma Devi Singam Types of Database Management Systems A database management system (DBMS) is system software for creating and managing databases. The DBMS provides users and programmers with a systematic way to create, retrieve, update and manage data. [pic] Advantages of DBMS: • Data abstraction and independence • Data security • A locking mechanism for concurrent access • An efficient handler to balance the needs of multiple applications using the same data • The ability to swiftly recover from crashes and errors, including restartability and recoverability • Robust data integrity capabilities • Logging and auditing of activity • Simple access using a standard application programming interface (API) • Uniform administration procedures for data Another advantage of a DBMS is that it can be used to impose a logical, structured organization on the data. A DBMS delivers economy of scale for processing large amounts of data because it is optimized for such operations. A DBMS can also provide many views of a single database schema. A view defines what data the user sees and how that user sees the data. The DBMS provides a level of abstraction between the conceptual schema that defines the logical structure of the database and the physical schema that describes the...
