| Project Goal |
| Develoment and evaluation of a higher-order persistent polymorphic programming environment for data-intensive applications in open environments. |
| Project Summary |
The Tycoon system emphasizes system scalability and interoperability
with commercial servers like Ingres, Oracle, ObjectStore, O2, Inquery,
SAP R/3, NeWS, StarView, C and C++ libraries, Sun-RPC, DCE-RPC and Kerberos.
Flexible and safe interoperation between these servers in heterogeneous
distributed environments is supported by
orthogonal mobility (unrestricted migration of data, code and threads between multiple system platforms). |
|
| Tycoon stands for typed communicating objects in open environments and is ithe most recent member of the family of database programming languages and multi-user database systems developed by our group since 1978 (Pascal/R, Modula-R, DBPL). | |
| To get a quick overview of the Tycoon project, have a look at the slides Persistent Polymorphic Object Systems (38 KByte, 14 pages PostScript, Nov. 1994) which we use to explain Tycoon to visitors of our group. |
