Increasingly, formal specification is being used by database
researchers to describe and understand the systems they are
designing and implementing. Similarly, those working on formal
specification techniques have recognised that the database field
provides a rich context for developing their ideas. However, as
experts in one field often have a relatively limited knowledge of
the other, there is a growing need for discussion about the
relationship between these two fields and how they can be usefully
combined. This volume contains the 16 papers which were presented
at the International Workshop on Specification on Database Systems,
held in Glasgow, 3-5 July 1991. The purpose of the workshop was to
bring together these fields and to examine, through a series of
invited talks, presentations and working groups, the role that
formal specification can play in developing database systems. The
papers describe current research into topics such as the formal
specification of data models, query languages and transaction
handling and the use of formal specification techniques to
understand problems which arise in database systems. The working
groups, which are summarised at the end of the volume, covered a
variety of issues including the role of graphical notations in
database specification, the use of specification techniques in
enabling "open" or extensible database systems and the education of
the database community in specification techniques. This volume
will be invaluable to the increasing number of researchers who are
using both database systems and formal specification techniques in
their work, and who wish to gain a more detailed knowledge of these
two fields and the issues which affect them.
