1:18,"General principles relating to 4GLs are described."1:19,"Example 4GLs are described."1:20,"Factors affecting the reliability of software and techniques"1:20,"for producing reliable software are described.  Standard software"1:20,"development lifecycle methods form the foundation for building"1:20,"software with a minimum of errors."1:21,"A thorough treatment of all aspects of database design."1:22,"Information modeling is a form of systems analysis which is"1:22,"particularly important for the database designer.  Key semantic"1:22,"concepts of information modeling, decision rules, and heuristics"1:22,"and modeling strategies to assist in formulation of a systematic"1:22,"approach to model development are presented."1:23,"An excellent presentation of current technology used in the"1:23,"implementation of database management systems.  Topics discussed"1:23,"include: physical data organization, database models, query"1:23,"languages and optimization, design techniques, security, "1:23,"concurrency, and distributed databases."1:24,"A thorough treatment of database management systems technology. "1:24,"Covers a multiplicity of file organization techniques which can"1:24,"be used by a DBMS.  Also describes major database structures and"1:24,"query language concepts.  Good information is provided on "1:24,"database concurrency and security."1:25,"Provides a wealth of information about managment and planning"1:25,"issues, database administration, and database design.  As its"1:25,"name indicates this is a very practical book."1:26,"This classic text presents basic computer science concepts and"1:26,"algorithms which implement standard data structures such as"1:26,"stacks, queues, linked lists, and trees."1:27,"Classic text which includes everything you need to know about"1:27,"generating good random numbers.  Algorithms for performing"1:27,"computations on arbitrarily large numbers, floating point,"1:27,"polynomials, etc. are also presented."1:28,"Classic text presenting the major algorithms for performing both"1:28,"internal and external sorts and searches."1:29,"A very readable text presenting the fundamentals of compiler"1:29,"construction."1:30,"Presents the basic techniques relating to most of the aspects"1:30,"of compiler construction.  Does not skimp on his presentation"1:30,"of techniques for symbol table management, memory usage, and"1:30,"code generation.  Other texts overemphasize parsing (the easy"1:30,"part)."1:31,"A classic text which describes the process of algorithm design"1:31,"and analysis and then presents algorithms for many of the"1:31,"standard computer science techniques."1:32,"A collection of essays from three of the great pioneers of"1:32,"computer science."1:33,"A presentation of a program development technique based upon"1:33,"the application of methods of proving programs correct. "1:34,"Formal analytical methods are used to present standard operating"1:34,"systems technology including: concurrency control, scheduling,"1:34,"and demand paging."1:35,"An excellent survey article about the B-tree indexing method."1:36,"An overview of the standard data models is presented by an"1:36,"MDBS consultant."1:37,"An excellent guide to a variety of database management systems"1:37,"available on microcomputers."1:38,"An article which describes the benefits of the network database"1:38,"model featurigng db_VISTA. "1:39,"An excellent survey of the majors issues in database technology"1:39,"in 1976.  It's interesting that not really very much has changed"1:39,"since then except that now there are production relational"1:39,"systems available.  Good reading for those who have no database"1:39,"background."1:40,"One of the definitive texts on all aspects of database"1:40,"management systems."
