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 [...]

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 [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
Transparent persistence in object database products refers to the
ability to directly manipulate data stored in a database using an object programming language.
This is in contrast to a database sub-language used by embedded SQL or a call
interface used by ODBC or JDBC. Using an object database product means that you have higher
performance and less code to write.
With transparent persistence, the manipulation
and traversal of persistent objects is performed directly by the object
programming language in the same manner as in-memory, non-persistent objects.
This is achieved through the use of intelligent caching as this animation shows.
For coding examples, see how
to access data in an object database. Also see caching for object
database management systems (new window).
There are nearly 400 pages of articles on this site with over 50 pages on object-oriented database management systems.

C++ Object Databases: Programming with the ODMG Standard by David Jordan Description: In 1991, the Object Database Management Group (ODMG) was formed to define standard interfaces for object databases. This standardization has since been achieved, and the popularity of object databases is on the rise. Similar to using SQL to access a relational database, the ODMG provides a corresponding standard for object databases. This book, technically reviewed by ODMG members,...
