论文部分内容阅读
数据库的发展近三十年了,它未来的研究方向应该是什么,对它过去的研究工作应该作何评价,这是人们关心的问题。要回答这些问题首先必须确立评价标准,这标准应该是,计算机科学的任一理论最终也要由实际应用来检验。今年2月4至5日,国际计算机科学研究所(ICSI)发起了由十六位老资历数据库学者(而不是开发者)参加的拉古纳海滩学术讨论会,讨论了上述问题并给出了他们的回答。读者将会发现这些老资历学者考虑问题的出发点是什么。译者赞同会议的观点,相信这对确立我们自己的研究方向来说有着重要的参考价值,同时对我们的学术会议、学术刊物的稿件评审工作也会有帮助。
The development of the database for nearly three decades, its future research direction should be what its past research work should be evaluated, which is a matter of concern. To answer these questions, we must first establish the evaluation criteria. The standard should be that any theory of computer science should eventually be tested by its practical application. From February 4 to February 5 this year, the International Institute for Computer Science (ICSI) initiated a Laguna Beach Symposium involving 16 senior-experienced database scholars (rather than developers), discussing the above issues and presenting Their answer. The reader will find out what the starting point for these veteran scholars to consider. The translator agrees with the meeting’s point of view and believes that this is an important reference value for establishing our own research direction and will also be helpful for the manuscript review of our academic conferences and academic journals.
