Research in Functionally Distributed Computer Systems Development. Volume XVI. A Minicomputer Based Distributed Data Base System.

Abstract

This paper describes a data base management system under development at Kansas State University, intended for use in a network composed primarily of minicomputers. The report presents a description of the computers forming the network and their intercomputer communication system. The data base management system is a network type as specified by CODASYL. An extension of a CODASYL-type DBMS to multicomputer configurations is presented and several DBMS network topologies are discussed. We then conclude with a discussion of a completely distributed data base network. (Author)
