On FDS-RII, the processing algorithm is selected at run time from two algorithms (nested loop algorithms, grace hash algorithm) by comparing their estimated I/O costs. The processing strategy is discussed in detail. The I/O cost formula is examined by measuring the execution time of a join query on the FDS-RII. With the expanded version of Wisconsin Benchmark, the performance of FDS-RII is measured. FDS-RII attained a high performance level for large relations as compared to other large database systems such as Gamma and Teradata. While FDS uses just one disk and three MC68020s, Teradata uses 40 disks and 20 AMPs and Gamma requires eight disks and 17 VAX 11/750s.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

EXTOR is the common representation that facilitates the sharing of information among a network of machines. The aim is to represent complex structured information in an efficient external form and to provide maximal sharing of information among computing sessions. OXS is a service which, together with the concepts of object boundary, global objects, and object closure, provides the exchange of information using EXTOR. A brief description is provided of the distributed object-oriented system that utilizes this service, the performance results for OXS, and the future directions for the design of generalized object exchange services in heterogeneous computing environments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

The motivation for this approach is twofold: first, it is in keeping with the database philosophy of emphasizing the representation of an application (rather than some intrinsic meaning); and second, it provides a framework for algorithmically verifying the structural aspects of the schema. An automatic classifier for the structural validation of object-oriented schemas based on sound and complete rules of inference is presented. If the classifier discovers structural relationships and/or inconsistencies, the designer can refine the schema to reflect the semantics of the application. Thus the classifier serves as an interactive design tool that can be used at any stage during the design process.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

Summary data, represented as a trinary tuple , consist of metaknowledge summarized by a statistical function of a category of individual information typically stored in a conventional database. The concept of category (type or class) and the additivity property of statistical functions form a basis for the model that allows for the derivation of summary data. The complexity of deriving summary data has been found computationally intractable in general, and the proposed summary data model, with disjointness constraint, solves the problem without the loss of information. The proposed access method, called the summary data tree, or SD-tree, which handles an orthogonal category as a hyperrectangle, realizes the proposed summary data model. The structure of the SD-tree provides for efficient operations including summary data search, derivation, and insertion on the stored summary data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

The term is a well-defined structure which represents knowledge using variables. RBU operations are an extension of relational database operations using unification and backtracking to retrieve terms from term relations. The term indexing proposed uses hashing and trie structures to reduce the number of comparisons between elements of a search condition and of an object term relation. Unification on a trie structure is suited to backtracking bindings of variables. The search and updating speed of an RBU prototype is measured to evaluate the indexing method. This method is effective for fast term retrieval for a large number of similar and varied form terms. The overhead for maintaining indexes in updating is low.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

The data model, called CANDIDE, is essentially an extended version of the FL-1, KANDOR and BACK, frame-based knowledge representation languages. A novel feature of the approach is that the data-description language and data-manipulation language are identical, thus providing uniform treatment of data objects, query objects and view objects. The classification algorithm find the correct placement for a query object in a given object taxonomy. Tractability issues are explored, and the expressiveness of queries is compared with relational algebra. This data model has been implemented in POPLOG as the basis for a knowledge-base management system that includes an integrated natural-language query system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

The Petri net model captures the characteristics of parallelism and synchronization at the workload level, while the queuing network model captures queuing aspects of the system at the physical resource level. Transactions in a workload are specified using a performance-oriented specification language based on the transaction component graph: a data-flow graph with database operators. The transaction specifications are translated into Petri-net representations to drive the simulation experiments. Results of an analysis of a two-phase locking strategy with machine sizes ranging from 4 to 256 processors are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

Moreover, any version can be added or deleted without affecting any other. File differencing and dictionary compaction are unified, and data compression can be included. A compact representation for the (sparse) matrices is presented, and the main algorithms are described in terms of this representation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.

These studies give insight into the delays incurred by applications running on distributed systems. Five different mechanisms for local interprocess communications (two variations with message queues, named pipes, shared memory, and UDP sockets) have been implemented, compared, and analyzed. The most efficient of these is three times as fast as UDP for 1000-byte messages. Kernel-level software multicast and hardware multicast have also been implemented and their performance analyzed. The results show the significant advantage of using these techniques instead of using multiple sends and receives at the user level. The design of a facility that allows the dynamic addition of user-level protocols such as two-phase commit, clock synchronization, etc. to an operating system kernel is presented. The facility is based on a simple stack-based language that provides the functionality and security required.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":329505,"journal":{"name":"[1989] Proceedings.
