Design of the IBM 8100 Data Base and Transaction Management System—DTMS
F. C. H. Waters · IBM Systems Journal · 1979
In DTMS, we have attempted to construct a Transaction Processing Manager and a Data Base Manager that are optimized to the projected needs of the true transaction application. We envision such an application as a sequence of simple programs, each of which processes a single message from the terminal and then prompts the user to continue the conversation.
