Abstract

1. What were the initial goals and promises of the distributed database technology? How do the current commercial products measure up to these promises? In retrospect, were these goals achievable?
2. Have the important technical problems already been solved? If not, which problems deserve the attention of researchers?
3. What are the technological changes that underlie distributed data managers and how will they impact next generation systems?
