Optimization of construction costs and energy consumption during the operation period of residential buildings (Case study: common residential buildings in Tehran)

Buildings are one of the main pillars of economic and social development of countries that consume a large part of energy and natural resources. The purpose of writing this article is to calculate the energy consumption of a building in one year, determine the energy label and then optimize some of its features in order to reduce construction costs and reduce energy consumption of the operation...

Considering Integrity Constraints During Federated Database Design

Correct transformations and integrations of schemata within the process of federated database design have to encompass existing local integrity constraints. Most of the proposed methods for schema transformation and integration do not sufficiently consider explicit integrity constraints. In this paper we present an approach to deal with integrity constraints. Our approach bases on the idea to r...
