We will cover Intelligent Databases in general and Deductive Databases, 
Fuzzy Databases, Multimedia Databases, Object Oriented Databases and 
Distributed Databases.  
For deductive, fuzzy and object oriented databases, we will use as an 
implementation language the declarative language PROLOG to build 
deductive and OO database prototypes. We will cover elements of 
Machine Learning such as neural networks, decision and classification 
trees,  and the integration of DBMS and ML into Data Mining.
