Both active database systems and autonomous evolutionary information systems are motivated by improving the passive characteristic of traditional database and/or knowledge-base systems; but they were independently developed until now. To investigate the difference between active database systems and autonomous evolutionary information systems and to find some complementary development methodologies for the both, this paper presents a comparative study of active database systems and autonomous evolutionary information systems. We comparatively discuss motivations, purposes, capabilities, logical foundations of active database systems and autonomous evolutionary information systems. We show that some facilities and their implementation techniques independently developed in active database systems and autonomous evolutionary information systems separately can be complementarily used each other and this will certainly result in progress of the both.
