Abstract:

A radical technology for databases, called the Datacycle architecture, which implements a relational model for network services and scales to support throughput of thousands of transactions per second is proposed. A set of data manipulation primitives useful in describing the logic network services is described. The use of the relational model together with an extended structured-query-language-like query language to describe 800 service, network automatic call distribution, and directory-assisted call completion services, is examined. The architectural constraints on the scalability of traditional database systems is reviewed, and an alternative, the Datacycle architecture is presented. The Datacycle approach exploits the bandwidth of fiber optics to circulate database contents among processing nodes (e.g. switching offices or other network elements) in a network, providing highly flexible access to data and controlling the administrative and processing overhead of coordinating changes to database contents. A prototype system operating in the laboratory is described. The feasibility of the Datacycle approach for both existing and future applications is considered.< >
