The current storage models for Object-Oriented DataBase (OODB), which organize data as objects according to the Object-Oriented Data Model (OODM), are mainly established on the block storage devices. In this way, the storage manager does not have detailed knowledge of the characteristics of the underlying storage devices, and the storage subsystem does not have the semantic knowledge of the dat...

Existing approaches to object-oriented system development are poorly integrated in several ways. This inadequate integration is ubiquitous and causes numerous inefficiencies in the object-oriented development process. These problems can be addressed by abandoning typical object-oriented models in favor of a single, seamless system model. By using a seamless model, such as the one we propose, no...

1 Abstract Computerized databases are essential and inseparable components of a vast majority of today's information systems. Database systems are used at all levels of management, research and production to provide uniform access and control of consistent information. Computer aided software engineering system require extensive database system support. Several industrial and academic research ...
