Although the use of deltas in relational environments is fairly well established, the use of deltas in an object-oriented database (OODB) environment has not yet been fully explored. As OODB's continue to expand i...

We describe the design, implementation and user evaluation of QUIVER, a graph-based visual query language for objectdatabases. The design goals of QUIVER include compliance to standards, comprehensive representational power, and consistency of visual representation. Compliance to standards is achieved through QUIVER queries being translated to OQL, the standard query language proposed by the object Data Management Group (ODMG). Comprehensive representational power is gained by QUIVER supporting a significant number of object database constructs, including objects, literals, attributes, relationships, structures, collections, operations, (aggregate) functions, and subqueries. Consistency of visual representation is pursued by assigning similar visual representations to constructs with similar functionality, as well as by minimising the use of text in QUIVER queries. The language is implemented as a visual front-end to the O2 object database system. Results of a user evaluation suggest that users find it easier to formulate correct queries in QUIVER than in OQL.
This paper discusses a realization of object persistence in a CORBA-based distributed system. In our approach, persistence of CORBA objects is accomplished by the integration of the ORB with an ODBMS. This approach is...

Engineering design is a collaborative and evolutionary process, involving designers from many disciplines. It is traditionally performed as a series of consecutive tasks, with any failures causing control to be passed...
