Triggered real-time databases with consistency constraints

A temporal database contains time-varying data. In a real-time database transactions have deadlines or timing constraints. In this paper we review the substantial research in these two previously separate areas. First we characterize the time domain; ...

Active real-time databases have emerged as a research area in which concepts of active databases and real-time databases are combined into a real-time database with reactive behavior. However, this marriage is not free from complications. The main ...

Distributed databases generally have strict consistency requirements on data replicas, meaning that they are not allowed to diverge outside of transaction boundaries. For certain applications, this is too pessimistic, and it is often better to trade off ...
