Abstract

The future world of computing will be governed by large networks of communicating and interacting persons and machines, geographic mobility, temporary attachment to networks, the disintegration of formerly monolithic organizations and systems into autonomously acting units, the substitution of cooperation regimes for centralized control, and an ever-increasing spectrum of ever more ambitious applications. In such a world the methods, techniques and tools of database technology will play new and more diversified roles, not so much in combination as parts of all-inclusive database systems but rather individually as indispensable ingredients of or desirable enhancements to novel communication, control and application systems. The two information systems groups whose work is presented in this report aim at meeting these new challenges. Our contributions are in the large field of what we call “distributed data-intensive applications”.
