Abstract

In this paper we consider and analyze the problems of reliability and safety of database systems operation. One of the methods of improving the reliability and quality of functioning of database systems is the registration of information about events and processes occuring in the system. In this direction, we introduce some new concepts related to the problem, and then develop and analyze a corresponding graph-theoretical mathematical model. In conclusion, several future directions of research are also briefly outlined.
