A desk-top information manager
A desk-top information manager
This thesis describes the principles, the design and the implementation of an information management system.
Because this system is intended for general purpose use, it needs to be flexible to lend itself to multiple uses, portable to take advantage of new hardware, expandable to provide a regulated growth path and above all easy to use. A Desk-top Information Manager (ADIM) was designed and implemented to satisfy these requirements.
The main core of ADIM is a highly efficient interconnectable 'desk-top' data base management system. This data base system is of a relational type and provides users of it with an interface based on relational algebra. ALFRED is a family of languages designed and implemented for use with ADIM.
This thesis also discussed efficiency problems in relational systems and their solutions within ADIM, ways of implementing the interconnection of data bases and applications of ADIM.

Abstract
This thesis describes the principles, the design and the implementation of an information management system.
Because this system is intended for general purpose use, it needs to be flexible to lend itself to multiple uses, portable to take advantage of new hardware, expandable to provide a regulated growth path and above all easy to use. A Desk-top Information Manager (ADIM) was designed and implemented to satisfy these requirements.
The main core of ADIM is a highly efficient interconnectable 'desk-top' data base management system. This data base system is of a relational type and provides users of it with an interface based on relational algebra. ALFRED is a family of languages designed and implemented for use with ADIM.
This thesis also discussed efficiency problems in relational systems and their solutions within ADIM, ways of implementing the interconnection of data bases and applications of ADIM.
