Abstract Versioning has been one of the important requirements for engineering design databases and is of increasing interest to database system designers. While there exist many object-oriented DBMS’s that support various versioning facilities, these systems consider the versioning problems as two separate domains: object versioning and schema versioning. In this paper, we consider both domains together and propose a unifying version model for both objects and schema. In particular, we present how we unify version controls for schema and objects, and describe issues in implementation.

Abstract We present a viable approach to add rules capability or object orientation to legacy databases. Using a combination of language compilation, run-time trigger mechanisms and inter-language call facility, we integrate an object-oriented logic programming language, called OOLP, with an existing CIM Database System Product, IBM’s CIM CDF. The result is a system that provides storage management of complex objects, rule-based validation, object oriented knowledge modelling and declarative query capability.

Effective Diagnosis

Abstract An expert system is developed for engineering design based on object-oriented knowledge representation concept. The design process is understood as determining design variables and their relationships which compose design model. The design model is represented as a network in the computer system using the object-oriented knowledge representation. The system built with the above concept provides the following abilities: 1) flexible model building and easy modification, 2) effective diagnosis of the design process, 3) supporting method for redesign, 4) a hybrid function with numerical computations and graphics, and 5) applicability for various design problems. Finally, it is applied to the basic design of a ship.
