Read the following case carefully and answer the associated questions:

The use of distributed databases in military systems

Consideration is given to the use of real-time distributed databases in naval command
systems. Such systems are required to operate in environments characterized by high data
rates and there are requirements for fast response times, high reliability and high
processing rates. In addition, many users need concurrent access to the same data. In
order to illustrate approaches which can be taken to design and build systems to meet
such requirements, a specific naval command system, which has been successfully built,
is considered

1. Comments on the design requirement of the above mention DDBMS.

2. Discuss various measure of concurrency control that is required in the above
mention case.

Note: Take Assumptions and notify as required.
