Object Oriented Models and Databases


Objective: The objective of this course is to give a thorough understanding of the advances in data modeling, database design, and a new generation of applications that are a challenge for database management. We will emphasize the object-oriented modeling approach to support such applications. Mostly basic concepts, research papers, prototypes and approaches will be discussed. Students will have some exposure to commercial implementations. The course is readings oriented and a basic knowledge of database management and particularly of the traditional data models is assumed at the level of CS 4400 /CS 6400. Please see the instructor if you have not had any formal coursework in the database area.
