title = "Towards database application systems: Types, kinds and other open invitations",
abstract = "Software development is moving rapidly from the coding of programs to system's modelling utilizing the services provided by open and modular environments. This shift enables service suppliers to gain customers by generalizing the functionality of their products, and it allows service consumers to conveniently buy functionality by simply specializing their needs. It also motivates consumers to construct applications with more than just the most specialized functionality in mind thus contributing to system extensibility and reusability. Finally, the novel view of software construction blurs the formerly quite sharp distinction between the application part and the system part of software development. In this paper we apply the consequences of the process sketched above to database systems and data-intensive applications. We argue in favor of a more open but yet controlled interaction between database systems and their applications and we discuss the implications on the major abstraction principles to be supported by future database programming languages. Finally, we follow the open invitation issued by novel computer languages to exploit their potent conceptual basis for the benefit of next generation database application systems.",
