Motivation

Object-oriented database systems (or object base management systems, OBMS) are envisioned as the next-generation information technology. The object-oriented model provides more advanced functionality than the relational model: the object model integrates the structural and the behavioral representation in one coherent schema (classes or types) whereas the relational model is limited to the structural representation of data. However, despite the functional advantage, in order to become widely accepted as the encompassing information repository the object base management systems have to exhibit a performance that is comparable—or even superior—to the currently predominant relational database systems. No user is willing to trade performance for functionality.

Therefore, in this seminar a wide range of issues related to enhancing the performance of object-oriented database systems were addressed. The seminar brought together leading researchers from different areas of optimization techniques in the object-oriented database development. Various issues from the following research areas were addressed during the seminar.
