Research issues in databases for ARCS
Anindya Datta · ACM SIGMOD Record · 1994
We identify an emergent class of database systems that has not been dealt with extensively in the literature that we call ARCS (Active, Rapidly Changing data Systems) databases. These systems impose certain unique requirements on databases that monitor and control them. These requirements are such that traditional data and transaction management models appear inadequate. We present an analysis of data and transaction characteristics in ARCS systems and identify relevant research issues.
