TL;DR
The goals and motivation for SHORE are given, and some novel aspects of the SHORE architecture are described, including a symmetric peer-to-peer server architecture, server customization through an extensible value-added server facility, and support for scalability on multiprocessor systems.
Abstract
SHORE (Scalable Heterogeneous Object REpository) is a persistent object system under development at the University of Wisconsin. SHORE represents a merger of object-oriented database and file system technologies. In this paper we give the goals and motivation for SHORE, and describe how SHORE provides features of both technologies. We also describe some novel aspects of the SHORE architecture, including a symmetric peer-to-peer server architecture, server customization through an extensible value-added server facility, and support for scalability on multiprocessor systems. An initial version of SHORE is already operational, and we expect a release of Version 1 in mid-1994.

ACM Transactions on Computer SystemsScale and performance in a distributed file system
1,412 Citations1988John H. Howard, Michael L. Kazar +5 more
This paper examines the consequences of the design decision to transfer whole files between servers and workstations rather than some smaller unit such as records or blocks, as almost all other distributed file systems do, and compares the whole file transfer strategy with that of a block-oriented file system, Sun Microsystems' NFS.

22 Citations1989Tobin J. Lehman, Michael J. Carey
This paper presents a new scheme based on two-phase locking that minimizes the overhead associated with concurrency control without overly limiting opportunities for concurrently executing transactions and avoids the expense of setting locks at multiple levels of a granularity hierarchy.
