Abstract
PJama is a vehicle for research into how to design and build industrial strength persistent programming technology. It is also a useful tool that can be used now to experience the advantages of orthogonal persistence for a popular language. Many research challenges remain. Perhaps the primary ones are:
-
Developing a better understanding of the different nature of applications and a corresponding assessment of the technological choices available.
-
Improving performance by combining the technologies of program optimisation with those of database optimisation.
-
Extending the computational model to encompass coherently and consistently more of application programmers' total technical requirements.
