Professor Roberto V. Zicari, Editor of ODBMS.ORG, a vendor-independent resource portal for object database technology and the integration of object-oriented programming and databases, presented the award. He explained, “Common Persistent Model Patterns are generally reusable solutions to a commonly occurring problem in object database design. They are a description for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations. Common persistent model patterns can be useful for performance and/or scalability optimization; they can speed up the development process by providing tested, proven development paradigms."
Adrian Marriott’s pattern, Query Visitor, represents a query to be performed on the elements of a persistent object structure. Marriott said, “It allows you to define new result set formats without changing the underlying persistent object model and avoids polluting the persistent classes with rendering logic.”
Query Visitor and Bespoke Indexes, a second pattern submitted by Adrian Marriott, were two of the three most valuable patterns as determined by the public vote out of a field of twenty-five.
The award was presented at the International Conference on Object Databases (ICOODB) in Zurich earlier this month. At the conference, Dr. Luis Ramos, Principal Systems Engineer/Consultant, Progress Software, presentedUsing ObjectStore® as a Cache for Applications that Access Relational Databases, and sat on a panel calledA New Renaissance for ODBMSs?
