During the 30th Symposium on Advanced Database System (SEBD), held in Tirrenia from the 19th to the 22nd of June 2022, Prof. Maria Grazia Fugini and Prof. Barbara Pernici from the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of the Politecnico di Milano received the “Taste” of Time Award for the paper “Techniques for the Analysis of Conceptual Schemas”, written with Prof. Silvana Castano from the University of Milan and Prof. Valeria De Antonellis from the University of Brescia.
The award, established to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the SEBD, aims to recognize the most important scientific contributions presented during the past editions of the event.
The award-winning article, published in 1995, proposes a set of techniques for the analysis and classification of the conceptual schemas used for designing databases. The proposed techniques allow indexing the schemas, associating them with descriptions and keywords, generating abstract representations of a schema, and comparing different schemas.
