Object Orientation within the PRIMA-NDBS
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Overview In the following we wish to highlight the design and implementation concepts of a non-standard database system (NDBS) called PRIMA and its provision for object orientation. Non-standard database applications such as CAD/CAM, VLSI design, and knowledge-based systems require adequate modeling facilities for their application objects for various reasons [H~.88b]. Data models dedicated to supporting such applications embody some degree of object orientation to the application objects [DD86]. In this context, the notion of complex object has emerged to indicate that such an object holds an internal structure and that access to the entire object as well as to its components (which may again be of a complex type) is provided by means of generic operators-in this sense we speak of structural object orientation. To enhance integrity control and semantic as well as operational expres-siveness, more object properties (beyond the above introduced structural relationships) have to be specified and preserved-this extended notion of object orientation is also referred to as behavioral object orientation. By this means appropriate forms of data abstraction and operational support are provided, thus relieving the application from the burden of behavioral object orientation structural object orientation application objects and operations A molecule sets

متن کاملUsing PRIMA-DBMS as a Testbed for Parallel Complex-Object Processing
The PRIMA-DBMS approach is explained by introducing PRIMA's architecture and query processing framework. The PRIMA-DBMS constitutes a testbed that is flexible enough to support evaluation and validation of quite a variation of different strategies for complex-object processing taking into account different parallelization levels and different hardware environments. Thus, PRIMA marks an importan...
متن کاملAccuracy improvement of Best Scanline Search Algorithms for Object to Image Transformation of Linear Pushbroom Imagery
Unlike the frame type images, back-projection of ground points onto the 2D image space is not a straightforward process for the linear pushbroom imagery. In this type of images, best scanline search problem complicates image processing using Collinearity equation from computational point of view in order to achieve reliable exterior orientation parameters. In recent years, new best scanline sea...
متن کاملObject Orientation Revealed !
Although object orientation (OO) is not intrinsically difficult, it can be hard to understand and teach unless it is viewed and presented within a coherent framework. This paper presents a logical and coherent framework for understanding and teaching object orientation. Central to the framework is the separation of the concepts generally associated with object orientation into those relating to...
