Optimization of an Object Oriented File System
Our research provides a unified and coherent presentation of the essential concepts and techniques of object oriented file systems. It consolidates the results of research and development in the semantics and implementation of a full spectrum of information system facilities for object oriented systems, including data modeling, querying, storage structures, composite objects and integration of a programming language. This approach presents a tool for building an object oriented file system called object oriented file system tool (or OOFS for short) for completing the development of a large object oriented information system, and its associated applications development framework. First we present the technological objectives underlying the project. Then we present the process of developing the information system and detail its architecture and construction, concentrating on the areas in which object oriented technology has had a significant role.
