Iridium Satellite Collision in Space
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 [...]

Atomicity
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 [...]

Well-Formed Business Process Diagrams
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 [...]

Recent Business Process Modeling Books

The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

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).

Some of user cases are not enough new, but they refers why they decided to use Object Database instead of common Relational Databases.

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.
