Office automation systems are growing both in use and in complexity. The development of a database management system for the office automation environment becomes a high priority, in order to provide an efficient and reliable way to manage the information needs of the office. Therefore, the specification of a database server for the office automation environment becomes a key area of concern. In addition to providing traditional database support, the database server must also provide new

In this paperyw.-j -eeim on the characterization and specification of a database server for the office automation environment. -We also cons ier how such a database server can be effectively integrated into the office automation environment. We use both intuitive comparisons and queueing-theory analyses to evaluate the various integration approaches. Further, we examine an experimentai database system, known as the multibackend database system (MBDS), as a candidate for the database server in the office automation environment.
