Abstract

Middle East Technical University (METU) is the leading technical university in Turkey. The Software Research and Development Center was established by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) at the Department of Computer Engineering of METU in October 1991. The aim of this center is twofold: to lead large scale software research and development projects, and to foster international cooperation. SRDC is involved in a number of research and development projects supported by the government, industrial companies and international organizations. Although SRDC projects also cover other fields of computer science, the main emphasis is on database systems. SRDC is organized around the ongoing projects and several engineers and graduate students work in these projects: M. Altinel, B. Arpinar, I. Cingil, Y. Ceken, C. Dengi, E. Gokkoca, C. Evrendilek, P.
