Databases Theory And Applications

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd Australasian Database Conference, ADC 2021, held in Dunedin, New Zealand, in January/February 2021.

This volume presents the results of approximately 15 years of work from researchers around the world on the use of fuzzy set theory to represent imprecision in databases. The maturity of the research in the discipline and the recent developments in commercial/industrial fuzzy databases provided an opportunity to produce this survey.

Editors: Abramsky, S., Kontinen, J., Väänänen, J., Vollmer, H. (Eds.)
Covers a relatively new area of logic, introduced by Väänänen, that has seen rapid development
Dependence logic has applications in numerous, seemingly unrelated subjects, including causality, random variables in statistics, database theory, Mendelian genetics, and quantum physics
Will be of interest to a broad group of logicians, mathematicians, statisticians, philosophers, and scientists

In this volume, different aspects of logics for dependence and independence are discussed, including both the logical and computational aspects of dependence logic, and also applications in a number of areas, such as statistics, social choice theory, databases, and computer security. The contributing authors represent leading experts in this relatively new field,
