ABSTRACT
Model management aims at reducing the amount of programming needed for the development of metadata-intensive applications. We present a first complete prototype of a generic model management system, in which high-level operators are used to manipulate models and mappings between models. We define the key conceptual structures: models, morphisms, and selectors, and describe their use and implementation. We specify the semantics of the known model-management operators applied to these structures, suggest new ones, and develop new algorithms for implementing the individual operators. We examine the solutions for two model-management tasks that involve manipulations of relational schemas, XML schemas, and SQL views.

The induced generalized OWA operator
We present the induced generalized ordered weighted averaging (IGOWA) operator. It is a new aggregation operator that generalizes the OWA operator, including the main characteristics of both the generalized OWA and the induced OWA operator. This ...
Constructing Choquet integral-based operators that generalize weighted means and OWA operators
A new class of aggregation operators is proposed to generalize weighted means and OWA operators.SUOWA operators are defined by using Choquet integral.These operators are continuous, monotonic, idempotent, compensative and homogeneous of degree 1 ...
Distributivity between semi-t-operators and Mayor's aggregation operators
The problem of distributivity was first posed over forty years ago and it has been investigated for families of certain operations such as t-norms, t-conorms, uninorms, and nullnorms. In this paper, we investigate this topic further by focusing on Mayor'...
