StarBase: A Firm Real-Time Database Manager for Time-Critical Applications

Abstract

Previous work in real-time database management systems (RT-DBMS) has primarily focused on simulation. This paper discusses how current real-time technology has been applied to design a RT-DBMS on a real-time micro-kernel operating system. A RT-DBMS must confront many practical issues that simulations typically ignore: race conditions, concurrency, and asynchrony. The challenge of constructing a RT-DBMS can be divided into three basic problems: dealing with resource contention, dealing with data contention, and enforcing timing constraints. In this paper, the authors discuss approaches to solving each of these problems.
