The Iris Kernel Architecture

We describe an architecture for a database system based on an object/function model. The architecture efficiently supports the evaluation of functional expressions. The goal of the architecture is to provide a database system that is powerful enough to support the definition of functions and procedures that implement the semantics of the data model. The architecture has been implemented to support the Iris Database System.
