The design, development and deployment of robust enterprise-wide transactional applications continue to be difficult. This tutorial provides an introduction to Object Transaction Processing (OTP) concepts, which are essential to the construction of such applications. The tutorial presents traditional transaction processing (TP) concepts and systems, discusses the impact of object technology on TP, develops a set of techniques to evaluate OTP approaches, and compares the current approaches and implementations of transaction processing with objects. Using specific real-world case studies, these techniques are applied to several illustrative OTP systems based on commercial products such as Microsoft Transaction Server, and implementations of OMG's Object Transaction Service and Enterprise JavaBeans.
Participants will learn general concepts underlying transaction processing with objects. They will be introduced to the design and development of OTP systems. Participants will also be exposed to the current state of commercial OTP technology and criteria that may be used for comparative evaluation of object transaction monitors. Attendee background: Participants should have participated in the construction of object-oriented programs. Some understanding of database systems is useful, but not required. Rajendra K. Raj is Vice President in Institutional Information Technology at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, where he led the development of several generations of transactional distributed financial object infrastructures. Dr. Raj was previously an Assistant Professor at SUNY Oswego. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington, Seattle. |
