Abstract

Many large organizations have data distributed in heterogeneous and autonomous information repositories. Studies of users' needs show that providing a systematic access to such multidatabase resources is and will continue be a major problem. The tutorial will address the state-of-the-art of the related technologies, including sematic and systems issues. The tutorial will

introduce the basic concepts of heterogeneous multidatabase systems and identify major research problems in the area;
discuss various approaches to the problem of developing applications in a multidatabase environment; and
review the current implementation efforts, discuss the current tendencies and future directions.

The tutorial will cover the following topics:

Issues: Distribution, Heterogeneity, and Autonomy
Alternatives: Inteoperability, Integration, and Interdependency
Reference Schema and System architectures
Semantic Heteorgeneity
Schema analysis, interdependency, and integration
System support for multisystem applications
Processing of Multidatabase Queries
Transaction issues in multidatabases
