Real-Time Databases
University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The Real-Time Database Systems Laboratory is part of the Computer Science Department at the University of Massachusetts. Our current research focuses on integrating active, real-time, temporal and multimedia databases for time-constrained applications. Priority assignment and real-time transaction scheduling in active real-time databases, real-time logging and recovery, temporal consistency and scheduling in temporal databases, and multimedia databases are some of the current topics of interest.
