Object-Oriented Database Programming by Suad Alagic

Object-Oriented Database Programming by Suad Alagic

The major topic of this book is the integration of data and programming languages and the associated methodologies. To my knowledge, this is the first book on modern programming languages and programming meth- odology devoted entirely to database application environments. At the same time, it is written with the goal of reconciling the relational and object-oriented approaches to database management. One of the reasons that influenced my decision to write this book is my dissatisfaction with the fact that the existing books on programming methodology and the associated concepts, techniques, and programming language notation are largely based on mathematical problems and math- ematically oriented algorithms. As such, they give the impression that modern program structures, associated techniques, and methodologies, not to speak of the formal ones, are applicable only to problems of that sort. Although important, such problems are of limited applicability and scale. This does not apply to books in which modem concepts, techniques, methodologies, and programming language notation are applied to systems programming. But, even so, this does not demonstrate that in entirely application-oriented problems-those in which modern computer tech- nology is most widely used-modern programming methodology is just as important. This book is meant to be a step toward providing a more convincing support of such a claim and, thus, is based entirely on common, what one might call business-oriented, problems in which database technology has been successfully used.

Suad Alagic holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He has been a Computer Science Professor at multiple universities for many years. His research areas are Object-Oriented Systems, Database Systems, and Programming Languages and Systems. Suad Alagic previously published three books with Springer. His first book on assertions was translated into Japanese, Russian and Polish. Suad Alagic is the lead author of numerous papers, object-oriented in particular, that were published in the proceedings of highly visible conferences and in prestigious journals. He has had research grants from NSF and DOD and was an invited staff member of ODMG. Suad Alagic held visiting research positions at Microsoft Research and University of Tokyo. His extensive teaching experience includes a variety of object-oriented courses.
