This paper argues that caching, atomicity and layering are fundamental to persistent systems, and that the transactional object cache architecture, as an embodiment of these conce...
Open multithreaded transactions constitute building blocks that allow a developer to design and structure the execution of complex distributed systems featuring cooperative and co...
Semantics represents a major problem area for active databases inasmuch as (i) there is l framework for defining the abstract semantics of active rules, and (ii) the various syst...
