Abstract

The recent development of distributed databases by very large DP users has imposed demands on network architecture which do not exist in the more conventional situations where terminals are linked to a centralized database through a star-shaped teleprocessing network. The special requirements of the distributed database environment impose stringent constraints on both the distributed database management system (DDBMS) software and the teleprocessing network. The paper reviews the main factors which impact on network architecture.
