Systems built with object technology are becoming the de facto industry standard. Since domain objects (used to model business entities) are persistent in nature, objects must be able to find their way into and out of relational databases. Unfortunately, there is an inherent impedance mismatch between the hierarchical nature of object networks and the relational database paradigm. This is the quintessential OR (object-to-relational) mapping challenge. This talk will provide an overview of objects, explore the architecture of object systems, expose the challenges in OR mapping, and offer solutions needed to achieve object-to-relational peaceful coexistence. This talk does not presuppose any knowledge of objects.
Colleen Roe has over 20 years experience in software engineering and has been heavily involved in object technology for over a decade. Colleen's experience spans applied mathematics, telecommunications, expert systems, database technology and embedded software. She has also authored a number of papers, spoken at various conferences and seminars, and currently holds five patents. At various points in her career she has been a researcher, a consultant, a manager, and an architect. She currently works for Standard Insurance in the capacity of enterprise architect.
Colleen's areas of expertise include benchmarking techniques, object/relational gateways, distributed object architectures, systems performance tuning and scaling, Java and Web technologies as well as various other subjects and disciplines relating to computer science and applied mathematics.
