Issues in Developing Object-Oriented Database Systems for Real-Time Applications.

摘要

Database systems for real time applications must satisfy timing constraints associated with transactions, in addition to maintaining data consistency. Recently, interests in object oriented databases have been growing for nontraditional applications of database systems, and several real time applications are being developed using an object oriented paradigm. The object- oriented approach seems promising for developing complex real-time database applications. However, it is not clear whether object oriented database systems would be superior than relational database systems for supporting real-time applications. In this paper, we address issues that must be investigated in order to design and develop an object oriented database system for realtime applications. Also, we present a model that integrates features for scheduling real-time transactions with the traditional object-oriented database model.
