Distributed Object-Oriented Data-Systems Design

This guide illustrates what constitutes an advanced distributed information system, and how to design and implement one. The author presents the key elements of an advanced distributed information system: a data management system supporting many classes of data; a distributed (networked) environment supporting LANs or WANS with one or more database servers; an advanced user interface. This book presents the authors' FRAME-OBJECT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY for advanced modelling. This book also addresses the features of both relational and object-oriented databases with emphasis being given to techniques for object-oriented design. This book will benefit database professionals and members of technical staff interested in data modelling.
