Abstract
Design specifications and functional components of the Base Machine of the distributed DBMS POREL are outlined in this paper including a multilevel architecture for data abstraction and a gross architecture of the major software modules of the machine. The Base Machine (which is a software machine) provides a common relational data base interface all over the network of the POREL system and guarantees for efficiency, data integrity, and security with respect to single nodes of the network. The software of the Base Machine is designed in regard to the inhomogeneity of the network aiming at a high degree of portability.
