DESIGNING AN OBJECT RELATION MAPPING SYSTEM IN PHP

Object Relational Mapping is a programming technique used by software developers to convert data between incompatible systems. This technique is used in object-oriented programming languages, hence the “Object” in Object Relational Mapping. Often times we see ORM systems being used by developers when interacting with relational database management systems. ORM is about creating classes that mimic the tables in the database but in a more business oriented manner rather than the normalized form used by the RDBMS.ORM, object, relational, mapping, class, business model, normalization, primary key, foreign key, methods, properties

Automating the Object-Oriented Software Development Process: Workshop Report

Cost-effective realization of robust, adaptable and reusable software systems demands efficient and effective management of the overall software production process. Current object-oriented methods are not completely formalized and lack the ability of reasoning about the quality of processes and software products (artifacts). There is a need for new modeling formalisms, which enable the quantification of the required quality attributes and support the automation of the object-oriented development process (AOOSD). The ECOOP'98 AOOSD workshop was organized to identify the important issues in this direction

Object oriented development of engineering software using CLIPS

Engineering applications involve numeric complexity and manipulations of a large amount of data. Traditionally, numeric computation has been the concern in developing an engineering software. As engineering application software became larger and more complex, management of resources such as data, rather than the numeric complexity, has become the major software design problem. Object oriented design and implementation methodologies can improve the reliability, flexibility, and maintainability of the resulting software; however, some tasks are better solved with the traditional procedural paradigm. The C Language Integrated Production System (CLIPS), with deffunction and defgeneric constructs, supports the procedural paradigm. The natural blending of object oriented and procedural paradigms has been cited as the reason for the popularity of the C++ language. The CLIPS Object Oriented Language's (COOL) object oriented features are more versatile than C++'s. A software design methodology based on object oriented and procedural approaches appropriate for engineering software, and to be implemented in CLIPS was outlined. A method for sensor placement for Space Station Freedom is being implemented in COOL as a sample problem

ADVANTAGES OF USING OBJECT-ORIENTED TECHNOLOGIES IN MODELING COSTS

The project was created with the intention of helping the managers, whose objective is to optimize the use of resources so that they obtain the wanted profit. In the first paragraphs we presented the theoretical concepts that we had in order to make this application. We pointed out the necessity to pass to object oriented programming, underlining the main advantages that made us chose this type of programming. Next, we showed the importance of the production cost in the decisional process and its calculus methods.object oriented technologies, costs management, optimization, linear programming, object -oriented programming

A formal soundness proof of region-based memory management for object-oriented paradigm.

Region-based memory management has been proposed as a viable alternative to garbage collection for real-time applications and embedded software. In our previous work we have developed a region type inference algorithm that provides an automatic compile-time region-based memory management for object-oriented paradigm. In this work we present a formal soundness proof of the region type system that is the target of our region inference. More precisely, we prove that the object-oriented programs accepted by our region type system achieve region-based memory management in a safe way. That means, the regions follow a stack-of-regions discipline and regions deallocation never create dangling references in the store and on the program stack. Our contribution is to provide a simple syntactic proof that is based on induction and follows the standard steps of a type safety proof. In contrast the previous safety proofs provided for other region type systems employ quite elaborate techniques

Design Features for the Social Web: The Architecture of Deme

We characterize the "social Web" and argue for several features that are desirable for users of socially oriented web applications. We describe the architecture of Deme, a web content management system (WCMS) and extensible framework, and show how it implements these desired features. We then compare Deme on our desiderata with other web technologies: traditional HTML, previous open source WCMSs (illustrated by Drupal), commercial Web 2.0 applications, and open-source, object-oriented web application frameworks. The analysis suggests that a WCMS can be well suited to building social websites if it makes more of the features of object-oriented programming, such as polymorphism, and class inheritance, available to non-programmers in an accessible vocabulary.Comment: Appeared in Luis Olsina, Oscar Pastor, Daniel Schwabe, Gustavo Rossi, and Marco Winckler (Editors), Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Web-Oriented Software Technologies (IWWOST 2009), CEUR Workshop Proceedings, Volume 493, August 2009, pp. 40-51; 12 pages, 2 figures, 1 tabl

An Object memory for an object-oriented database management system

Ankara : The Department of Computer Engineering and Information Sciences and the Institute of Engineering and Sciences of Bilkent Univ. , 1988.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University), 1988.Includes bibliographical references leaves 86-89.Object-oriented paradigm is an approach that can be applied in various areas of computing. In this approach, each entity is represented by an object which captures the state and the behaviour of the entity. In this thesis, a focused survey of object-oriented paradigm in general and object-oriented database management systems in particular has been carried out and an object memory module is designed and implemented for an object-oriented database management system prototype. The object memory module handles the representation, access and manipulation of objects in the system and provides the primitive functions that are necessary in the development of the prototype.Kesim, F NihanM.S
