What is Research at Altaïr about?
Altaïr is a five year project which began in September of 1986. Its goal is to design an implement a next generation database system. The five year project was divided in two phases: a three year prototyping phase and a two year phase devoted for one part to the development of a product from the prototype and for the other part to a new research effort. The three year phase ended by the demonstration of the V1 prototype of the O 2 object-oriented database system which has been distributed for experimentation to more than 40 universities and about 13 industrial partners. The contribution of the Altaïr group to the database research community has been mainly in three areas: data model and database languages, object stores, and programming environments. Furthermore, all these efforts have been integrated in a consistent way into the V1 prototype. The results of this research and development effort are being summarized in a book [BDK91] which is a commented collection of papers, most of them already published in the proceedings of a number of internationally recognized conferences. We briefly survey in the following the O 2 activities.
