Abstract

An office proedure specification system is described. The system is to be implemented as a database application in a distributed database management system being developed at Computer Corporation of America. Because of its data-base application characteristic, the system treats form copying and routing differently from other office information systems. This differences makes controlling and tracing forms easier than it is in other systems. We also introduce a generalized trigger, called trigger-lock, for synchronizing independently created procedures and for exception handling.
