Abstract

This paper gives a survey of the deployment of ideas from the area of real-time, active and heterogeneous database systems in the years from 1991 to 2010 as they have been embraced by IT industry. During that time the Database and Distributed Systems group (DVS) led by Alejandro Buchmann has made lots of contributions to the development of those ideas by many research projects. After 20 years it is time to conclude insights how far the ideas of the first project REACH are still valid for the development of commercial products and standards. In some cases, industry has taken another direction as it has been expected. In other cases, the DVS research prototypes were forerunners for commercial products that are now well-established.
