Overview

Kappa is a parallel database management system based on a nested relational model, and runs on UNIX machines with KLIC.

Nested Relational Model: The data model of Kappa is based on a nested relational model so that complex structured data of knowledge information processing systems or genetic information processing systems can be treated efficiently.
Parallel Processing Depending on Data Placement: As Kappa has a query processing capability at each node, the distribution of relations and the horizontal partition of relations give us inter-node parallelism.
Running on UNIX machines with KLIC: Kappa is written in KL1 and runs on parallel and/or distributed environments of computer systems with basic functions of UNIX operating system using KLIC.
An Application Program Irpr: A personel management system, so-called irpr, is included as an application example.
