Abstract :
Object-oriented database systems aim at meeting the data modelling, performance, cooperative design and version management requirements of current advanced applications, such as CAD (computer-aided design), CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), CASE (computer-aided software engineering), CIM (computer integrated manufacturing), hypermedia and expert systems. This paper presents the ALEX Object Manager, which is a part of the ALEX object-oriented database management system that is being developed based on the ODMG-93 standard. The system decomposition and process layout are presented, some implementation problems are discussed and the current status of the system is reported
