Abstract
Active object-oriented database systems are a commonly accepted solution for capturing the time- and context-dependent knowledge of non-standard applications. Several attempts have been made already to integrate active concepts into object-oriented database systems and to increase the expressive power of event specification languages. However, this has often been done without considering the consequences for the implementation. The present paper tries to fill this gap. The main focus is on describing design and implementation issues concerning composite event management within the active object-oriented database system TriGS. Thereby, we concentrate on the idiosyncratic features of TriGS, which are composite events spanning several transactions and even several applications, smooth integration of composite event detection with rule scheduling, and the inheritance of rules.
