Abstract
Outline of an approach to evolutionary database systems design and evolutionary database design which is intended to lower the total costs of maintaining, developing and executing application programs against a database. The premise is that it should be possible to have an evolutionary database system which executes efficiently while providing explicit support for changes in application usage. The key concepts are: hierarchical layering of a database specification, inclusion of static/dynamic characteristics in specification of the database, and a hybrid compile/interpret system for the execution phase of the data management system itself.
