ABSTRACT

A number of data abstraction, database, and conceptual modeling issues border on the three technical areas that this workshop addresses: artificial intelligence, database management, and programming languages. We assume that the workshop is dedicated to removing the boundaries between these three fields in order to shape research and development of common interest. While enthusiastically supporting this objective, we believe that each area has a unique perspective and emphasis worth preserving. The three fields can truly benefit from each other only if each one appreciates the diversity of these research viewpoints. In this spirit we describe a research project on Abstract Data Models conducted by the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology (ICST) of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). Before doing so, however, we wish to discuss from our perspective both some problems that database management shares with the areas of artificial intelligence and programming languages, and some possible mathematical solutions to these problems.
