Dear Colleagues,
Below you will find the preliminary program of the ARTDB-97
workshop on active, real-time, and temporal database systems,
which will be held in Como/Milan, Italy, on the 8th and 9th of
September. Enclosed you will also find a registration form and
text presenting the scope of the workshop.
The workshop is held in connection with ICECCS'97 and in
cooperation with the IEEE CS Technical Committees on Real-Time
Systems and Complexity in Computing and with the ACM Special
Interest Group on Management of Data (SIGMOD).
More details about the workshop can be found on the ARTDB-97 WWW
homepage. The address is:
http://www.his.se/ida/artdb97/
Advance registration, including payment, is due on the 25th of
August. On-site registration will be available (at a higher cost)
on the 8th of September.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Como, Italy (near Milan).
Best regards,
Jorgen Hansson and Sten Andler

Scope of the workshop
---------------------------------------------------------------
The areas of active, real-time, and temporal databases have seen
tremendous growth in the last few years. Availability of
rules/triggers as part of database functionality is changing the
way databases are modeled and applications are written. The
functionality supported by active database systems is meant to
meet the requirements of a number of emerging applications (such
as workflow, air traffic control, CIM, network management, and
stock trading) where correctness of execution is based not only
on transaction semantics, but also on the timeliness of the
result. Hence, the integration of active functionality, with
temporal and real-time constraints seems to be the next logical
step. Both active functionality, rule based execution, and
real-time capability are crucial for the support of
time-critical and embedded applications.
Active database systems typically support event-based rules and
provide a uniform mechanism for supporting many traditional
capabilities as well as new ones. Real-time and temporal
database systems, on the other hand, support various types of
timing constraints in addition to transaction semantics.
A number of open issues need to be resolved in order to combine
active, real-time and temporal capability. Introducing rules and
triggers into a real-time database increases the complexity of
transactions, predictability, scheduling etc. Temporal aspects
on data validity complicates the matter even more. Although
extensive research has been carried out in these areas, only a
limited number of proposals have been made to integrate active,
real-time and temporal capabilities. It seems timely for these
research communities to again get together to identify and share
research results as well as chart new directions.
