Abstract
The study of temporal database systems is relatively new in the field of computer
science. Two developments have led to the present interest. The advances of the storage
technology for large amounts of data and applications' requirements for time-dependent
data have prompted our study of temporal databases. This thesis conducts a survey of the
major research areas concerning temporal databases. Temporal data, taxonomies of
temporal data models, temporal data languages, and temporal database systems are
presented. It is argued here that future database systems should handle the temporal
domain by an integrated temporal database system.
By understanding the present technology and the need of temporal database
systems, our research in the area of real-time temporal database systems can begin. It is
the purpose of this thesis to provide the background information and research references
of temporal database systems as a first step towards the real-time database system
research. Real-time database systems are time-constrained and temporally constituted.
Solutions in temporal database systems can contribute to the design of real-time military
applications using temporal database computers.
