Persistent object oriented architectures have been researched for many years, deriving initially from the Manchester University Atlas machine. In reality, however, few actual implementations of persistent architectures exist. In the first half of thi... Read More about Architectures for persistence.

Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system (1992)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Unwalla, M., & Kerridge, J. (1992, July). Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system. Presented at Advanced Database Systems: 10th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 10, Aberdeen, Scotland

The IDIOMS parallel database machine supports large applications where integrated OLTP and MIS is required. It can be considered a relational engine, and SQL is used as the MIS query language. We make some comparisons between IDIOMS and other databas...

Design, abstract data types and occam (1989)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Wright, S., & Oates, R. (1989, April). Design, abstract data types and occam. Presented at 10th Occam User Group Technical Meeting, Enschede, The Netherlands

A design methodology is presented whereby abstract data types are mapped onto occam processes. For each function a command and reply protocol is specified. Attention is paid to the formal specification. The method may be useful in obtaining a paralle... Read More about Design, abstract data types and occam.

A review of the major systems analysis methodologies is undertaken in order to examine the aspects of information systems (IS) which they seem best able to represent. The importance of a collection of techniques – the analyst's tool kit – is stressed... Read More about Towards a Tool Kit For the Systems Analyst.

Communicating parallel processes (1986)

As a rule, in equaliser training algorithms complexity
increases with efficiency. Unfortunately, complex recursive
algorithms do not suit high-bandwidth systems. This letter
describes a nonrecursive technique for the derivation of the
weight vect... Read More about Open-loop transversal equaliser of optimal length.
