Rajendran M. Sivasankaran, Bhaskar Purimetla, John A. Stankovic, Krithi Ramamritham · 2002
A methodical study of real-time database applications can help identify the important research issues in real-time databases. The authors discuss the data and transaction characteristics of a telephone network services database in an attempt to study real-time database issues in the context of an application and to identify new research issues. Network services databases are soft/firm real-time systems and provide support for the service-providing intelligent network. They also present a brief explanation of a distributed active real-time database simulator built for the purpose of experimenting with issues that arise in applications such as the Network Services Database.>
