Abstract
Active database management systems(ADBMS) are finding increasing application in diverse domains and especially in different kinds of control applications and long duration activity management. An ADBMS gives users the facility to define dynamic semantics of the application as a part of the database. In this paper, we propose a modeling scheme for ADBMS applications. Our approach allows modeling in three orthogonal dimensions viz. object dimension, event dimension and transaction dimension. The application semantics is viewed as an interrelationship among the modeled components in each of these dimensions. A novel modeling technique has been used in our scheme whereby the application independent activeness aspect of the database can be separated out from the application dependent part. This is done by separating out the global and local events/rules of the applications. Thus applications having different activeness requirement over the same database may be designed instead of putting all activeness aspects statically in the database schema.
