ISTORE expects reaction mechanisms to be implemented by the application
- these reaction mechanisms are application-specific
- e.g., moving data requires knowledge of data semantics, consistency policies, ...
- a research goal of ISTORE is to provide a standard API to these mechanisms
- initially, try to leverage and extend existing mechanisms to avoid wholesale rewriting of applications
- many data-intensive applications already support functionality similar to the needed mechanisms
- eventually, generalize and extend API to encompass mechanisms and needs of future applications
