Abstract
The architecture of an active DBMS determines both its functionality and the components that are required for its implementation. This chapter addresses first some issues that have an impact on the architecture of an active database system, and presents the various architectural alternatives. The basic functions of an ADBMS are identified and then related to the architectural alternatives. This chapter discusses rule specification and registration, and rule execution. Special attention is devoted to the execution of transactions and its relationship to the execution of ECA rules.
