Methodology of Large Dynamic Files,

Abstract

This report discusses what constitutes a file system, how it evolves and where special emphasis needs to be placed in its design and implementation. Although generalized file systems are considered where possible, digitally oriented files are preferentially covered. Emphasis is also placed on the physically immense files. The file functions of collection, conversion, storage and retrieval are presented and the file cycle assoicated with data element is discussed on the basis of a generalized file system. Also discussed are file system objectives and their importance in the definition of an implementation configuration. This Report has been prepared at the request of the Technical Information Panel of AGARD. (Author)
