A Distributed Database Management System for Command and Control Applications.
Abstract
The primary focus of this project is to design and implement a distributed database management system called SDD-1 (System for Distributed Databases). SDD-1 is specifically oriented toward command and control applications and will be installed and tested in the Advanced Command and Control Architectural Testbed at the Naval Ocean Systems Center in San Diego. SDD-1 is a system for managing databases whose storage is distributed over a network of computers. Functionally, SDD-1 provides the same capabilities that one expects of any modern database management system, and users interact with it precisely as if it were not distributed. Systems like SDD-1 are appropriate for applications which exhibit two characteristics: (1) the activity requires an integrated database -- i.e. the aactivity entails access to a single pool of information by multiple persons, organizations, or programs; and (2) either the users of the information or its sources are distributed geographically. Military command and control exhibits these two characteristics.
