Enhancing knowledge processing in client/server environments
Joachim Thomas, Bernhard Mitschang, N. Mattos, Stefan Deßloch · 1993
A great variety of techniques has been developed to optimize and enhance query processing for relational, client/server, distribute~ parallel, and heterogeneous database systems (DBS).Baaed on that work and experience, we investigate how far those techniques are applicable to query processing in Knowledge Base Management Systems (KBMS).Our reference system is the KRISYS KBMS that consists of a knowledge-processing system at the client (clientbaaed processing) and a data-processing system at the server (database backend).We describe a unifying thrnework for query ,processing incorporating both processing systems (as realized in KRISYS).This allows to distribute and balance the amount of work done in the client and in the server.Based on an evaluation of that framework, severaf approaches to further enhance knowledge processing are reported.
