Tagline: Patterns for next-generation database systems
Funding: EC DG Information Society FET Working Group (IST-2001-33058)
Keywords: databases, pattern-based systems, pattern management
Short Description
With the advent of hardware advances, complex information resulting from data intensive applications is posing requirements for today’s (and tomorrow’s) Database Management Systems (DBMSs). Such information possesses a number of key features such as huge volume of data, diversity and complexity. We claim that the term pattern is a good candidate for generic representation of these novel information types. PANDA Working Group will study current state-of-the-art in pattern management and explore novel theorical and practical aspects of a pattern-based management system (so-called, PBMS). Aided by an Industrial Advisory Board, PANDA-WG will face application of the novel PBMS technology in real needs, such as those found in financial and telecommunications fields.
