Evaluation and Optimization of File Organizations through Analytic Modeling.

Abstract

The research concerns the selection of appropriate file structures and access methods for the construction of large data bases within information systems. A file design system is developed here that can be used by a file designer to select good file organizations from a large number of alternatives. This design system takes its design requirement parameters from the data collection, user activities, and machine characteristics. The output of the design system is a suggested file structure, and the details of the actual file structure can be determined by simulation or other techniques.
