Uses for Accelerating Time

• Life insurance policies

  • Terms of the data is dependent upon the year the policy was issued

• Testing of trigger dates

  • Use of dates like 12/31/99 as largest date

• Distributed data

  • The database is so widely distributed that it is impossible to obtain a synchronized copy

• Complex data

  • The database is too complex to reliably age right the first time
