Improving Web Database Access Using Decision Diagrams

In some areas of management and commerce, especially in Electronic commerce (E-commerce), that are accelerated by advances in Web technologies, it is essential to support the decision making process using formal methods. Among the problems of E-commerce applications: reducing the time of data access so that huge databases can be searched quickly; decreasing the cost of database design … etc. We present the application of Decision Diagrams design using Information Theory approach to improve database access speeds. We show that such utilization provides systematic and visual ways of applying Decision Making methods to simplify complex Web engineering problems.
