Implementation of a distributed data management system for manufacturing applications-a feasibility study

A prototype implementation of a data management system primarily designed for technical applications is discussed. The system may be regarded as a superset of well-known data administration concepts like file systems and database systems, both centralized and distributed. The basic idea is to enrich the concept of consistency supported in a classical database system by a more flexible data distribution mechanism. The prototype makes it possible to validate the basic concepts it is then extended to a more powerful version.<
