On Developing Reactive Object-Oriented Databases

• This paper outlines the ongoing work in Reactive Object-oriented Database Systems between the Departments of Computer Science in the University of Exeter(UK) and the University of Skovde(Sweden). The group is currently designing a monitoring system based on a reactive object oriented database with the objective of supporting efficient interaction between the active DBMS and applications (including intelligent systems). Initial work has centered on a prototype reactive object-oriented system built on top of ONTOS, a commercial OODBMS which has C++ as its base language. The prototype is referred to as ACOOD (ACtive Object Oriented Database system). We briefly discuss this prototype, showing how reactive behaviour has been incorporated into a full OODBMS albeit with some restrictions. We also outline our plans for its future extensions, and how these are motivated.
