You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites. What wasn’t reported and you probably don’t know is that an object database management system (ODBMS) is an important part of the Iridium system. Even though ODBMSs are a [...]

I am now also posting on the Cutter Blog. My initial posting is (The Acronym) SOA is (Perhaps) Dead (at Some Companies); Long Live Services. It is a response to Anne Thomas Manes’ SOA is Dead; Long Live Services on her blog at the Burton Group.

The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
When you integrate database capabilities with object
programming language capabilities, the result is an object-oriented database
management system or ODBMS¹. An ODBMS makes database objects appear as
programming language objects in one or more existing programming languages.
Object database management systems extend the object programming language with
transparently persistent data, concurrency control, data recovery, associative
queries, and other database capabilities.
Also: In September 2007, the Object Database Technology Working Group of the
Object Management Group (OMG) issued a white paper that introduced the concept
of an "object calculus" for ODBMSs that is analogous to "relational calculus" in
RDBMSs: Next Generation Object Database Standardization (new
window).
¹ Other initialisms used for object database management systems include: OODBMS, ODB, OODB, OODMS, and ODMS. They are also called "object-oriented database
systems."
There are nearly 400 pages of articles on this site with over 50 pages on object-oriented database management systems.

The Object Data Standard: ODMG 3.0 (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) by R. G. Cattell, Douglas K. Barry, Mark Berler, Jeff Eastman, David Jordan, Craig Russell, Olaf Schadow, Torsten Stanienda, Fernando Velez Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews. Customer Review: A well-written, concise reference covering a diverse range of topics that will be of interest to all who know the frustration of cramming complex OO systems into relational tables. From a complete design pattern for Object and Object Relational database systems, to design patterns for declarative language symantics; from C++ and Java...
Object Databases in Practice by Akmal B. Chaudhri, Mary Loomis, Hewlett-Packard Professional Books Average Customer Review: based on 1 review. Customer Review: I found it fair and product-independent 18 user cases of Object Database. Some of user cases are not enough new, but they refers why they decided to use Object Database instead of common Relational Databases. Some even refers why they adopted a certain product of Object Database. Be careful this is not a introduction of Object Databas...
Object-Oriented Application Development Using the Cache Postrelational Database by Wolfgang Kirsten, Michael Ihringer, Peter Schulte Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews. Customer Review: Have gotten extensive use out of this book from my time as a cache developer. Good guide for a programmer who's new to cache, and then later on as a reference guide for an intermediate to experienced developer. Everyone in the dev team got some use out of this as a reference - good to have in the team.
