Abstract

Databases have traditionally been architected with large, datacrunching batch applications in mind. This is especially evident to user interface researchers who are trying to tightly couple visualization front-ends to state-of-the-art database backends. This paper discusses the areas of impedence mismatch between databases and user interfaces. It proposes mechanisms that need to be incorporated into databases to reduce the systems integration problems involved in integrating visualization applications to databases. Motivating examples have been drawn from the VLSI domain.
