The authors summarize experience gained in a long-term project that provides persistence abstractions and generic database support in a strongly typed database environment which includes optimizing gateways to commercial relational database servers. They make use of a uniform language model based on higher-order polymorphic types to capture the essential interoperation semantics including classical cross-language calling mechanisms, remote procedure call models as well as relational and object-based database gateways. This uniform language model is also the conceptual core of the Tycoon database environment being developed at Hamburg University. Tycoon lifts persistent object system interoperability to a higher level of genericity and precision while further reducing overall system complexity by a lean approach to languages and models for data, execution and storage. Since it is central to the concept of lean production to substantially reduce the manufacturing penetration by importing and reusing external services, interoperability is crucial.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RIDE-IMS `93: Third International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering: Interoperability in Multidatabase Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132405939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local autonomy requires that the maintenance of the isolation and atomicity of global transactions must hold when their execution is interleaved with local transactions. The paper proposes the utilization of both the syntactic and semantic characteristics of global transactions to formulate such a condition. An enriched combination of two theories, hybrid serializability and global committability, is presented as a vehicle for the maintenance of the isolation and atomicity of global transactions. The authors then explore the structural features of global transactions which provide the necessary conditions for supporting the theory. The present findings represent a new research direction in the management of global transactions. Instead of seeking restrictions on local transaction management systems, they show that local autonomy may be well preserved by placing conditions on global transactions to accommodate the autonomous local environment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RIDE-IMS `93: Third International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering: Interoperability in Multidatabase Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129168615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concurrently, small, pen-based, mobile computers are becoming the machine of choice for personal computing. This latter trend suggests simple interfaces that are easy-to-use, avoid keyboard use, and are suited for the small screens and small memory sizes of mobile machines. The former trend, however, suggests an increased sophistication in database interfaces, so as to provide access to the more complex heterogeneous collection of databases that are now part of a personal information service. At the Matsushita Information Technology Laboratory (MITL) they are working on a pen-based graphical database language that begins to combine these conflicting demands for simplicity and sophistication. The authors sketch the highlights of the research approach, and present a brief description of the current prototype.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RIDE-IMS `93: Third International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering: Interoperability in Multidatabase Systems","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115708659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
