Databases are used in many applications, spanning virtually the entire range of data processing services industry. The data in many database applications can be most naturally represented in the form of a graph structure consisting of various types of nodes and edges with several properties. These graph data can be classified into four categories: social networks describing the relationships between individual person and/or groups of people (e.g. genealogy, network of coauthorship among academics, etc); information networks in which the structure of the network reflects the structure of the information stored in the nodes (e.g. citation network among academic papers, etc); geographic networks, providing geographic information about public transport systems, airline routes, etc; and biological networks (e.g. biochemical networks, neuron network, etc). In order to analyze such networks and obtain desired information that users are interested in, some typical queries must be conducted. It can be seen that many of the query patterns are across multiple categories described above, such as finding nodes with certain properties in a path or graph, finding the distance between nodes, finding sub-graphs, paths enumeration, etc. However, the classical query languages like SQL, OQL are inept dealing with these types of queries needed to be performed in the above applications. Therefore, a data model that can effectively represent the graph objects and their properties, and a query language which empowers users to answer queries across multiple categories are needed. In this research work, a graph data model and a query language are proposed to resolve the issues existing in the current database applications. The proposed graph data model is an object-oriented graph data model which aims to represent the graph objects and their properties for various applications. The graph query language empowers users to query graph objects and their properties in a graph with specified conditions. The capability to specify the relationships among the entities composing the queried sub-graph makes the language more flexible than others.

A big variety of new modern programming technologies exist in today's market and each of it provide different approaches for the same problems. It is quite a challenge for a project manager or a system architect to decide which technology is best for their project and a lot of time should be spent for analysis before some decisions could be made. The main purpose of this work is to create a reusable model for JAVA applications that is based on cutting edge technologies such as Aspect-Oriented Programming, Object databases and Model-View-Controller architecture. This work provides research data that could be used for analysing what influence will these new technologies have for the system. Created model is based on aspect oriented programming. The key component is a TransactionalAspect which does automatic database session and transaction management. It also provides session pooling for better reliability and performance and thread safety by using ThreadLocal for more complex applications. As a result a model was created that helps to manage 4 main stages of system development processes: project analysis precess, architecture process, coding process and system support process. Helps to develop a quality system on time and save project expenses at the same time.

As a result of the rapid evolution of smart mobile devices and the wide application of satellite-based positioning devices, the moving object database (MOD) has become a hot research topic in recent years. The moving objects generate a large amount of geo-referenced data in different types, such as videos, audios, images and sensor logs. In order to better analyze and utilize the data, it is useful and necessary to visualize the data on a map. With the rise of web mapping, visualizing the moving object and geo-referenced data has never been so easy. While displaying the trajectory of a moving object is a mature technology, there is little research on visualizing both the location and data of the moving objects in a synchronized manner. This dissertation proposes a general moving object visualization model to address the above problem. This model divides the spatial data visualization systems into four categories. Another contribution of this dissertation is to provide a framework, which deals with all these visualization tasks with synchronization control in mind. This platform relies on the TerraFly web mapping system. To evaluate the universality and effectiveness of the proposed framework, this dissertation presents four visualization systems to deal with a variety of situations and different data types.

At most of the times, information systems are the corner stone for companies nowadays. This document's intention is to introduce the model design phase in UML and the implementation of an information system for evaluating the activity of empolyees in a tree hierarchy. The first part is made of business' multilevel marketing principle, a description of the system's specification and a progression of the system's modeling in a CASE tool, Select Component Architect. The second part describes the implemented system through a web application, which is based on Caché, an object database.

Still increasing requirements are made on database systems, because users need to work with still more complex data. Because of the historical development of database systems, post-relational database systems are mainly used today. As follows from their name, post-relational database systems are built on relational database systems and expand them so that they are able to work with complex data. The vast majority of today's spatial database systems is based on post-relational databases. However, this work is trying to find a connection between object and spatial databases. The obtained knowledge is reflected in the implementation of the object database spatial extension.

This work deals with electronic document management systems (EDMS) from the perspective of selected knowledge areas of project management processes. The aim of this thesis was to create an EDM system based on an appropriately selected EDM model, which would assist in the management of documents that arise during management processes in selected areas of project management (quality, human resources and communication within the project) with the possibility of extending to other knowledge areas.
