ECA Functionality in a Distributed Environment

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Monographs in Computer Science ((MCS))

Abstract

The capabilities of active database systems remain meaningful for distributed applications. However, since the assumptions underlying a distributed active database system differ from those for a centralized active database system, the technical capabilities necessary for supporting active functionality must be revised and extended, and new challenges must be met. In addition, distributed active database systems and distributed rule processing offer new opportunities that make explicit use of the potential of distribution. The goal of this chapter is to provide a systematic overview of the design options for ECA functionality in distributed environments, highlighting the choices from a usage perspective.
