- | A new book on OODBs is currently being planned, to be edited by:
- |
- | Mary E.S. Loomis PhD, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, USA
- | and Akmal B. Chaudhri, City University, London, UK
- ........^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [ shameless plug ]

- | Target audience
- | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- |
- | The target audience includes users or potential users of OODBs. The book
- | will contain contributions by users and practitioners for users and
- | practitioners. People will be able to use this book to judge whether OODB
- | technology is suitable for them.
- |
- | Topics of interest
- | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- |
- | The topics of interest may include (but are not limited to):
- |
- | * Tips and tricks using particular products
- | * Comparisons of products
- ....^^^^^^^^^^^
- should be contrast of products (to show differences)
-
- | * Use of products for particular applications (case studies)
- | * Management issues in adopting OODBs
- | * Use of OODBs with ORBs
- | * Use of OODBs with Relational systems (including Gateways)
- | * Tradeoffs between alternative OODB application designs
- | * Tradeoffs between alternative OODB languages bindings for application
- | development (e.g. Smalltalk vs. C++)
- .................^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- i.e., this has nothing whatsoever to do with Eiffel (why didn't you
- post this to comp.lang.ada and comp.databases.object, Achmall ?)
