By the mid 1980’s the idea of using a database management system for the foundation of corporate information systems was well established. But the immense popularity of the IBM PC beginning in the early 1980’s changed the landscape of corporate computing. As all kinds of applications migrated to the PC platform, IT departments found themselves with the charge of supporting computing across mainframes, minicomputers and PC’s. Of course it was only natural that the architectural foundation of database management would migrate into a distributed environment. This 1987 research paper was commissioned by a large equity investor and is here published for the first time.
