| relational technology system called the ART Studio. It is a proof of concept that
| |
| generates database applications automatically using context-sensitive interfaces that
| |
| guide designers through our step-by-step process. In the first half of our presentation,
| |
| we will explain how and why our technology breaks new ground with the RDBMS on the
| |
| white board. Next, we will build a small database application from a 5-table database
| |
| system that will be posted on our server. The audience will be encouraged to browse
| |
| and explore the “100 Best TV Episodes database” on their own personal computing
| |
| devices. This part of the demonstration will be limited to smart phones, tablets, and
| |
| laptops. Stay tuned for the launch of our smart watch database applications in the
