During the last few years, the area of real-time databases has attracted the attention of researchers in both real-time systems and database systems. The motivation of the database researchers has been to bring to bear many of the benefits of database technology to solve problems in managing the data in real-time systems. Real-time systems researchers have been attracted by the opportunity real-time database systems provide to apply time-driven scheduling and resource allocation algorithms.
However the domain of real-time database systems still lacks theoretical treatment of soft real-time databases and implementation of a hard real-time database system.
Project SHROOD focuses on these two points and will provide theoretical treatment of soft real-time databases and will implement a hard real-time object-oriented database prototype.
Concurrency control mechanisms suitable for hard real-time database systems will be developed which include offline scheduling of transactions, online guaranteeing of real-time transactions, and performing non-time-critical transactions in the background.
