Design of replicated real-time database simulator

A real-time database is a database in which both the data and the operations upon the data may have timing constraints. This paper presents the design of a replicated realtime database simulator. The Simulator architecture is discussed with a high level overview of modules and their functionality. We discuss the individual modules in a detailed manner by describing the various parameters that control their behavior as well as their interfaces with other modules. This simulator can be used as a base to study many design issues that affect the performance of real-time database such as different types of concurrency protocols, distributed commit protocols, priority assignment policies and load balancing.
