Abstract
This paper first presents a short overview of application areas for database technology in telecommunications. The main result of this brief survey is that telecommunications has recently broadened to a degree that almost all fashionable fields of database research are becoming relevant; nevertheless, relatively little research focus has been set on this application domain. In the second part of the paper, we look specifically at the performance challenges posed to distributed and wireless database technologies by novel applications such as Intelligent Networks, mobile telephony and very large numbers of database caches embedded in telephones. A brief overview of two of our own research efforts is presented, one concerning the design of replication mechanisms, the other concerning analytic performance models in distributed and wireless information systems.
