Architecture and Implementation of the Darmstadt Database Kernel System
Summary: Kernel-centric, multi-layer architecture for application-specific DBs built on a common Darmstadt kernel. Hierarchical object storage, single-scan set-oriented operations, and a multi-level transaction model enable strong concurrency; early implementation experiences and lessons.
