The central hypothesis ofthis paper is that database design and systems de- sign in general can be simplified considerably by tailoring the design methods to a suit- able range of applications. Domain-specific knowledge can be incorporated into a spe- cialized database architecture that leaves the designer only with the task of specify- ing the application-specific parts. Based on an analysis of business constraints, we propose such an architecture for the domain of business transaction processing. The architecture offers several data and transaction management services, spe- cial-purpose subdatabases, and design-checking rules to be used by the application designer Two services, input management and audit and control services, are described in more detail.Read the full paper here: https://www.jmis-web.org/issues
