Architectural Support for Global Smart Spaces
A GLObal Smart Space (GLOSS) provides support for interaction amongst people, artefacts and places while taking account of both context and movement on a global scale. Crucial to the definition of a GLOSS is t...

Chapter
Implementation Techniques: Introduction and State of the Art
Persistent system environments are expected to provide the data management facilities required by languages, such as those presented in Chapters 1.1.1 to 1.1.3, and with at least the performance of traditional...

Chapter
An ad hoc Approach to the Implementation of Polymorphism
Polymorphic abstraction provides the ability to write programs that are independent of the form of the data over which they operate. It has proved difficult to provide efficient implementations of polymorphism...

Chapter
Using Persistence Technology to Control Schema Evolution
The content of these chapters derives from two papers which explore further the possibilities of the hyperprogramming and hypercode concept. Neither paper describes engineered systems, but rather both are work...

Chapter
Protection in Persistent Object Systems
Persistent programming is concerned with the creation and manipulation of data with arbitrary lifetimes. This data is often valuable and therefore protected to ensure that it is free from misuse. The mechanism...

Chapter
Linguistic Reflection: Introduction and State of the Art
Linguistic reflection is defined as the ability of a running program to generate new program fragments and to integrate these into its own execution. This is the basis for system evolution which itself is nece...

Chapter
Concurrency and Transactions: Introduction and State of the Art
Traditionally the database and programming language communities have taken different approaches to concurrency control. In programming languages, concurrency control is based upon the concept of the coordinati...

Chapter
Concurrent Shadow Paging in the Flask Architecture
The differing requirements for concurrency models in programming languages and databases are widely diverse and often seemingly incompatible. The rigid provision of a particular concurrency control scheme in a...

Exploiting Persistent Linkage in Software Engineering Environments
This paper examines some of the advantages of providing software engineering environments within a persistent object system with strong ty** and referential integrity. Persistent linkage allows persistent ob...

Chapter
Unifying Interaction with Persistent Data and Program
Some general comments relevant to the contents of this chapter are given in the Preface to Chapters 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 at the beginning of Chapter 3.1.2.

Chapter
Persistent Languages: Introduction and Overview
Persistent programming languages are designed to support the construction of persistent application systems which have the potential to be long-lived, concurrently accessed and consist of large bodies of data ...

Chapter
Subty** and Assignment in Database Programming Languages
Our focus of interest is in the integration of programming languages and database management systems. In particular, the integration of type systems and data models is considered. One tension in this integrati...

Chapter
The Joy of Sets
The semantics of many bulk data models depends on user-defined attributes such as definitions of element equality, ordering, and other domain predicates. While these attributes are an intrinsic part of the dat...

Chapter
Specifying Flexible Concurrency Control Schemes: an Abstract Operational Approach
An abstract, operational model for specifying flexible concurrency control schemes within a persistent store is presented. The goal of the model is to allow concurrency control schemes to be specified in a man...

Chapter
The PamCase Machine
The application of orthogonal persistence to a number of traditional programming language mechanisms has produced significant results for the modelling power of persistent languages. Many of the implementation...

Chapter
The Napier88 Persistent Programming Language and Environment
Persistent programming systems are designed as an implementation technology for long lived, concurrently accessed and potentially large bodies of data and programs, known here as persistent application systems...

Chapter
Type-Safe Linguistic Reflection: A Generator Technology
Reflective systems allow their own structures to be altered from within. In a programming system reflection can occur in two ways: by a program altering its own interpretation or by it changing itself. Reflect...
