Amos II (Active Mediator Object System) is a distributed mediator system that uses a functional data model and has a relationally complete functional query language, AmosQL. Through its distributed multi-database facilities many distributed Amos II peers can interoperate. Functional multi-database queries and views can be defined where external data sources of different kinds are translated thr...

Known parallel DBMS offer at present only static partitioning schemes. Adding a storage node is then a cumbersome operation that typically requires the manual data redistribution. We present an architecture termed AMOS-SDDS for a share-nothing multicomputer. We have coupled a high-performance main-memory DBMS AMOS-II and a manager of Scalable Distributed Data Structures (SDDS) into a scalable d...

Amos II (Active Mediator Object System) is a distributed mediator system that uses a functional data model and has a relationally complete functional query language, AmosQL. Through its distributed multi-database facilities many autonomous and distributed Amos II peers can interoperate. Functional multi-database queries and views can be defined where external data sources of different kinds are...
