You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites. What wasn’t reported and you probably don’t know is that an object database management system (ODBMS) is an important part of the Iridium system. Even though ODBMSs are a [...]

The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram. To start, here are three criteria [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good. The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
When you integrate database capabilities with object
programming language capabilities, the result is an object-oriented database
management system or ODBMS¹. An ODBMS makes database objects appear as
programming language objects in one or more existing programming languages.
Object database management systems extend the object programming language with
transparently persistent data, concurrency control, data recovery, associative
queries, and other database capabilities.
Also: In September 2007, the Object Database Technology Working Group of the
Object Management Group (OMG) issued a white paper that introduced the concept
of an "object calculus" for ODBMSs that is analogous to "relational calculus" in
RDBMSs: Next Generation Object Database Standardization (new
window).
¹ Other initialisms used for object database management systems include: OODBMS, ODB, OODB, OODMS, and ODMS. They are also called "object-oriented database
systems."
There are nearly 400 pages of articles on this site with over 50 pages on object-oriented database management systems.
