Abstract

The application of air traffic control systems is one of the more complex real-time applications that require timely responses as well as logical and temporal data integrities. An air traffic control system is highly safety-critical. In this paper, we propose a database model for the air traffic control system using the active database scheme to coordinate the interactions among external update transactions, time-triggered transactions and operator transactions. We define the system components, including a time-based trigger manager and a concurrency control manager with the implementation of semantic-based concurrency control protocols. The concurrency control utilizes the compatibility matrix technique with semantic-based operations that can be carefully designed to enhance the temporal correctness in terms of external consistency and data deadlines.
