 Abstracts of Some Papers and Patents Authored by IBM Fellow Dr. C. Mohan of IBM Almaden Research Center
Results of a relational data base management system are joined in a process requiring, first, existence of an index on the join column of the inner table, and, second, ordering on the join columns of the first table.
A computer-implemented method for minimizing the amount of time to access current data in a database which may be stored wholly in a DASD-oriented external storage subsystem or partly in DASD and partly in a high-speed electronic store while maintaining coherency of the data with respect to multiple user systems.
The idea of the paper is the use of the Workflow Reference Model of the Workflow Management Coalition to define structured workflows, and execute these workflows through the exploitation of Notes Release 4's native workflow concepts.
