Summary on Grant Application Form |

Add-on data and knowledge based servers have been used to provide hardware support for the operation of database management systems (DBMS). Most such servers provide direct implementations of the Relational algebra operations. As such, they are particularly well suited for the support of Relational DBMS. Recently, however, interest in and use of object-oriented DBMS has placed them in the vanguard of new database technology. There is a strong need to consider how well data engines meet the requirements of OODBMS and what impact these requirements have on the architecture of these engines. The aim of the one year pilot study proposed in this document is to: produce a set of requirements made by OODBMS on data engines; design an initial set of mappings from OODBMS to data engines in order that efficient support for inherent OODN operations and relational-style operations can be provided; produce an architectural model relating OODBs and data engines and a discussion of the implications of the model.
