Aspect-Oriented Schema Evolution in Object Databases: A Comparative Case Study
Awais Rashid · Lancaster EPrints (Lancaster University) · 2002
This paper provides a comparative evaluation of two aspect-oriented features of the SADES object database evolution system with three other systems each representing a particular category of evolution systems. The evaluation is based on a case study involving a design correction scenario. The features compared include schema relationships and instance adaptation. The discussion demonstrates the cost-effectiveness and resilience of an aspectoriented approach in the face of unanticipated changes, customisations and extensions.
