Young Bucks by Troy Dunn
This volume was primarily intended to present selected papers from the workshop on Theory and Applications of Nested Relations and Complex Objects, held in Darmstadt, FRG, from April 6-8, 1987. Other papers were solicited in order to provide a picture of the field as general as possible. Research on nested relations and complex objects originates in the late seventies. The motivation was to obtain data models and systems which would provide support for so-called complex objects or molecular structures, i.e., for hierarchically organized data, thereby overcoming severe shortcomings of the relational model. This theme of research is now maturing. Systems based on those ideas are beginning to be available. Languages of various natures (algebras, calculi, graphical, logic-oriented) have been designed and a theory is slowly emerging. Finally, new developments in database technology and research are incorporating features of models involving complex objects. A variety of approaches is represented in this volume. The first three papers give overviews of major pioneering implementation efforts. The fourth paper is devoted to the important issue of implementation of storage structures. The next three papers propose excursions in the foundations of nested relations and complex objects. The following six contributions are all devoted to modeling of complex objects. The area of database design is represented by the last four papers.
Troy Dunn is the creator and executive producer of the #1 rated show on WE Network, The Locator and host of the TNT series APB with Troy Dunn. As a husband and father, Dunn truly is an expert on family -- he and his wife, high school sweetheart Jennifer, have been married for more than 25 years and have 8 children, one of whom suffers from pediatric cancer. He is also the author of the best-selling book Young Bucks, from which all proceeds have gone to pediatric cancer research. Dunn has spent over 20 years dedicating and building his career around repairing fractured families, beginning with the search for his own mother's birth mother. Having reunited over 40,000 people with their birth families over the last 25 years, giving them the tools to cut through the despair, resentments, blame, and anger that have driven them apart, Dunn has helped them find each other again and enjoy the love, security, and amazing joy that a rebuilt, healthy family creates.
