The RTSORAC Real-Time Object-Oriented Database Prototype

  • Chapter
Real-Time Database Systems

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 396))

Abstract

Applications that interact with their environments, such as automated vehicle control, manufacturing, and air-traffic control, have large volumes of time-constrained data on which time-constrained transactions may operate. Such applications can be supported by real-time database management systems [16]. Additionally, these applications often involve complex data types with complex associations among the data items. The vast majority of work on real-time databases to date has used the relational data model [16, 23], which has limitations for complex data [24].
