TL;DR
The design and implementation of the first version of the O2 object-oriented database system is described and the system interface as seen by the application programmer is described.
Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of the first version of the O 2 object-oriented database system. The Altaïr project is currently designing and implementing a complete environment for developing data intensive applications. As a first step, we have implemented a quick prototype of an object-oriented DBMS. We report here on this implementation. The first part of the paper describes the system interface as seen by the application programmer, the second part describes the architecture of the system.

This book is the first detailed account of the Smalltalk-80 system and is divided into four major parts: an overview of the concepts and syntax of the programming language, a specification of the system's functionality, and an example of the design and implementation of a moderate-size application.

1,675 Citations1985Luca Cardelli, Peter Wegner
A λ-calculus-based model for type systems that allows us to explore the interaction among the concepts of type, data abstraction, and polymorphism in a simple setting, unencumbered by complexities of production programming languages is developed.

Programming with taxonomically organized data is often called objectoriented programming, and has been advocated as an effective way of structuring programming environments, data bases, and large systems in general.
ACM Computing SurveysTypes and persistence in database programming languages
346 Citations1987Malcolm P. Atkinson, O. Buneman
There are areas of programming language research—modules, polymorphism, persistence, and inheritance—that must be developed and applied to achieve the goal of a useful and consistent database programming language.

This paper describes the results of developing the GemStone object-oriented database server, which supports a model of objects similar to that of Smalltalk-80, and discusses satisfying the remaining requirements in an object oriented context.
ACM Transactions on Information SystemsA shared, segmented memory system for an object-oriented database
161 Citations1987Mark F. Hornick, Stanley B. Zdonik
The basic data model of an object-oriented database and the basic architecture of the system implementing it are described and a secondary storage segmentation scheme and a transaction-processing scheme are discussed.
Issues in the design of object-oriented database programming languages
91 Citations1987Toby Bloom, Stanley B. Zdonik
The purpose of this paper is to try to uncover some of the cultural presuppositions that have inhibited development of a fully integrated database programming language and identify database and language features that seem to be difficult to reconcile.

The paper explains why the unusual design choices in LOOM were made, and provides an interesting example of the process of designing an integrated virtual memory and storage management system.
