Abstract

In many distributed telecommunications applications, the Quality of Service is largely determined by the performance and reliability of the distributed storage system. In this paper, we present the specification of a distributed database function which conforms to the Reference Model of Open Distributed processing (RM-ODP), the ISO/ITU-T standard. The computational model masks the distributed application from the implementation details. Fragmentation and redundancy are used to control the performance and reliability of the distributed storage system. The engineering model is based on the ODP Storage Function and Group Function.
