Abstract

There is today a large gap between the access facilities offered to users in a large corporate database system and the concept of "database" as offered in some of the integrated multi-service software packages now appearing on the newer microcomputers. Since these new micros may herald the arrival of more automated office environments with intelligent workstations, it is important that an improved concept of access to highvolume corporate data is developed. This paper examines likely user environments and needs, and the software facilities needed to support them. An architecture developed by members of the British Computer Society's End User Systems Group is introduced as a potential framework for a solution to the requirement.
