Abstract

The discussions during the panel stayed largely but not entirely focused on the question of active database research issues from the application perspective. There were nine panelists. Each panelist was asked to prepare brief answers to a set of questions. The sets of answers were discussed by all participants, and finally a number of more general issues were discussed.The questions asked of the panelists were:Name an application that will certainly be supported by active database systems in the not-too-distant future.Name an application that will certainly not be supported by active database systems in the near future.Name an area of active database systems in which you are not working but that is crucial to meet the needs of applications.Name an area of active database systems that is not on the critical path to supporting applications.Name an area of active database systems that should have been discussed in the course of the workshop but was not.
