Logics for Conceptual Data Modelling: A Review

Authors: Pablo R. Fillottrani and C. Maria Keet

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2024): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge - Part 2. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Information modelling for databases and object-oriented information systems avails of conceptual data modelling languages such as EER and UML Class Diagrams. Many attempts exist to add logical rigour to them, for various reasons and with disparate strengths. In this paper we aim to provide a structured overview of the many efforts. We focus on aims, approaches to the formalisation, including key dimensions of choice points, popular logics used, and the main relevant reasoning services. We close with current challenges and research directions.

Asymptotically Optimal Welfare of Posted Pricing for Multiple Items with MHR Distributions

Authors: Alexander Braun, Matthias Buttkus, and Thomas Kesselheim

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 204, 29th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2021)

Abstract

We consider the problem of posting prices for unit-demand buyers if all n buyers have identically distributed valuations drawn from a distribution with monotone hazard rate. We show that even with multiple items asymptotically optimal welfare can be guaranteed. Our main results apply to the case that either a buyer’s value for different items are independent or that they are perfectly correlated. We give mechanisms using dynamic prices that obtain a 1 - Θ (1/(log n))-fraction of the optimal social welfare in expectation. Furthermore, we devise mechanisms that only use static item prices and are 1 - Θ ((log log log n)/(log n))-competitive compared to the optimal social welfare. As we show, both guarantees are asymptotically optimal, even for a single item and exponential distributions.
