Military requirements for object-oriented real-time dependable database systems

We review requirements for military database systems, what added database support is being developed for them, and ongoing concept development efforts and change proposal recommendations by the US Navy and the American national standards institute (ANSI) in cooperation with private industry and academia for real time database management systems standard features. We examine the unique information needs of military systems, how these needs have been met in the past and what the future holds. We examine the Navy´s next generation computing resources program (NGCR), their Database Management Interface Standards Working Group (DISWG), and ANSI´s database systems study group´s (DBSSG) Predictable Real time Information Systems Task Group (PRISTG) and how these efforts will foster the evolution of existing and emerging database management systems standards into real time database management systems standards
