Abstract
Thor is a new object-oriented database management system (OODBMS), intended to be used in heterogeneous distributed systems to allow programs written in different programming languages to share objects in a convenient manner. Thor objects are persistent in spite of failures, are highly likely to be accessible whenever they are needed, and can be structured to reflect the kinds of information of interest to users. Thor combines the advantages of the object-oriented approach with those of database systems: users can store and manipulate objects that capture the semantics of their applications, and can also access objects via queries. Thor is an ongoing project, and this paper is a snapshot: we describe our first design and a partial implementation of that design. This design is primarily concerned with issues related to the implementation of an OODBMS as a distributed system. 1 INTRODUCTION Distributed systems contain different kinds of computers, and users write programs in different...
