| Summary: | This thesis presents an approach to support complex intelligent database applications by integrating logic and database in an object-oriented framework through a system called CLOGBase. CLOGBase is also known as a deductive object-oriented database (DOOD) system. Complex intelligent database applications such as Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) and Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) require more expressive data modeling capabilities and application models than those supported by existing database systems. Objects and manipulations on such objects are more complex. In addition, the concept of data has changed to incorporate multimedia types including text, images, voice, graphics and many other complex objects.
