Orthogonal persistence, object-orientation and distribution / by Kevin C.F. Lew Kew Lin.

Bibliography: p. 143-150.vii, 150 p. : ill. ; 30 cm.Develops a model of orthogonal persistence for object-oriented languages. A type-safe model based on the Napier88 Language Environment is proposed and as example, a possible design for a persistent version of C++ is explored. The model uses a persistent object store to support orthogonal persistence in the language. To accomodate the needs of distribution, also develops an extended model of distributed stores suitable for wide-area networks.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Computer Science, 199
