The Role of Transaction Management in CORBA/ODB Integrated Systems' Performance
Paper to be presented at the SAC'2000, ACM Symposium on Applied Computing in Villa Olmo, Como, Italy in March 19-21, 2000. In this article some techniques aimed to minimizing the negative impact of transactions overhead on CORBA/ODB integrated system's performance are described and evaluated.
What CORBA/ODB integration technique to choose: Adapter vs. Wrapper
Paper presented at the OOPSLA'97 Workshop "Experiences using Object Data Management" in Atlanta, USA 5-9 October1997. In this article the evaluation of two different programmatic techniques of Object Databases integration with CORBA environment (Object Database Adapter and Persistent Object Wrapping) is presented. Some work has been conducted using Orbix2.2, ObjectStore4.0 and Orbix+ObjectStoreAdapter2.1 (OOSA201). The same IDL interface was implemented using the two approaches and related measurements were performed. The implementation issues, time and memory tradeoffs, performance questions for each technique are described. An attempt to present the situations each approach fits the best is made.
How existing Object Database Adapters work?
A short paper presenting the principles of operation of Object Database Adapters currently available on the market.
