Description: Persistent Application Systems (PASs) are of increasing social and economic importance. They have the potential to be long-lived, concurrently accessed and consist of large bodies of data and programs. Typical examples of PASs are CAD/CAM systems, office automation, CASE tools, software engineering environments and patient-care support systems in hospitals. Orthogonally persistent object systems are intended to provide improved support for the design, construction, maintenance and operation of PASs. The persistence abstraction allows the creation and manipulation of data in a manner that is independent of its lifetime thereby integrating the database view of information with the programming language view. This yields a number of advantages in terms of orthogonal design and programmer productivity which are beneficial for PASs. Design principles have been proposed for persistent systems. By following these principles, languages that provide persistence as a basic abstraction have been d.

Abstract:Persistent Application Systems (PASs) are of increasing social and economic importance.

Orthogonally persistent object systems are intended to provide improved support for the design, construction, maintenance and operation of PASs.
