Download or read book Fuzzy Preference Queries to Relational Databases written by Olivier Pivert and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to show that fuzzy set theory constitutes a highly expressive framework for modeling preference queries. It presents a study of the algorithmic aspects related to the evaluation of such queries in order to demonstrate that this framework offers a good trade-off between expressivity and efficiency. Numerous examples and proofs are liberally and lucidly demonstrated throughout, and greatly enhance the detailed theoretical aspects explored in the book.
