U.S.-U.K. Cooperative Research: Storage Management for Persistent Programming Languages

这个为期三年的奖项支持马萨诸塞大学的J. Eliot Moss和英国法夫市圣安德鲁斯大学的Ron Morrison在软件编程语言方面的美英合作研究。他们的研究目标是扩展主要的对象空间算法，以用于收集持久对象数据库。这种所谓的垃圾收集方案将定位并组织包含数据库中不再可访问的数据的内存，以便重用。该项目在持久性研究方面汇集了两个兼容且互补的研究小组。算法扩展将共同设计，然后实施、评估并集成到每个团队现有的数据库系统中。该项目将促进我们对对象数据库中大量数据管理的理解。

This three-year award supports U.S.-United Kingdom cooperative research in software programming languages between J. Eliot Moss of the University of Massachusetts and Ron Morrison of the University of St. Andrews in Fife, United Kingdom. The objective of their research is to extend main object space algorithms for use in collecting persistent object databases. This so-called garbage collection scheme will locate, and organize for reuse, memory containing data which is no longer accessible in databases. The project brings together two compatible and complementary research groups in persistence research. The algorithm extensions will be designed jointly, and then implemented, evaluated and integrated into each team's existing database systems. The project will advance our understanding of the management of huge amounts of data in object databases.
