Abstract

The Laguna Beach report [l] identiefies major trends for the evolution of databases. While interesting issues are analysed and debated in that report, the views expressed are conservative and short-sighted. While [l] emphasizes new application domains such as CASE and CIM, I believe that decision support systems (DSS) will also become important for pushing the limits of database systems. DSS combine requirements for bet- ter modeling techniques that they share with CASE and CIM-of which the object-oriented models of [l] are but a special case-to the needs of dynamic views and queries in ways which cannot be limited to simple rule firing and require the power of a declarative programming language to be available in the context of a database system. Logic-based systems remain the first candidates in this area. The talk will present an exam ple of a DSS, review its functionality, discuss a suitable architecture. Further points to be discussed will involve the availability of workstations and very large memories and its influence on the architecture of a database system.
