ABSTRACT
A complete datamodel for an integrated VLSI design system is developed in a stepwise manner. This datamodel introduces a unified view of all design domains and hierarchy levels that result in a considerable simplification of the communication among the design tools. We defined five basic objects: cell, interface, contents, instance and configuration for high level description of all design data. The model also covers views, types, alternatives, versions and the design history. In particular our handling of the configuration demonstrates reasonable response times, due to the strict avoidance of redundant information and the storage of complex objects. This datamodel can be directly used for the implementation of an efficient object-oriented design database.

In-process object-oriented database design for .NET
SIGITE '05: Proceedings of the 6th conference on Information technology educationIn this paper, we introduce the development of an in-process Object-Oriented Database (OODB) design for the .NET platform. Using an OODB design, one simple function call is needed to save, search, delete, or update .NET objects. Also little database ...

ICDE '95: Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Data EngineeringConcepts of deputy objects and deputy classes for object-oriented databases (OODBs) are introduced. They can be used for unified realization of object views, roles and migration. The previous researches on these concepts were carried out separately, ...
