Object orientation raises hopes for increased productivity of  software generation and maintenance methods. Parallelism can serve to  structure a problem but also promises faster program execution. \u003cbr\u003e  The two areas of computing science in which these paradigms play the  most prominent role are programming languages and databases. In  programming languages, one can take an academic approach with a  primary focus on the generality of the semantics of the language  constructs which support the respective paradigm. In databases, one is  willing to restrict the power of the constructs in the interest of  increased efficiency. \u003cbr\u003e  Inter- and intra-object parallelism have received an increasing amount  of attention in the last few years by researchers in the area of  object- oriented programming. At first glance, an object is very  similar to a process which offers services to other processes and  demands services from them. It has, however, transpired that  object-oriented concepts cause problems when combined with  parallelism. In programming languages, the introduction of parallelism  and the synchronization constraints it brings with it can get in the  way of code reusability. In databases, the combination of object  orientation and parallelism requires, for example, a generalization of  the transaction model, new approaches to the specification of  information systems, an implementation model of object communication,  and the design of an overall system architecture. \u003cbr\u003e  There has been insufficient communication between researchers in  programming languages and in databases on these issues. \u003cem\u003eObject\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOrientation with Parallelism and Persistence\u003c\/em\u003e grew out of a  Dagstuhl Seminar of the same title in April 1995 whose goal it was to  put the new research area `object orientation with parallelism' on an  interdisciplinary basis. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eObject Orientation with Parallelism and Persistence\u003c\/em\u003e will be of  interest to researchers and professionals working in software  engineering, programming languages, and database systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792397700\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1437-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 233.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578399023244,"sku":"9780792397700","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792397700.jpg?v=1767145888","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792397700","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
