An Object-Oriented Database System for Engineering Applications

Summary: Behavior-oriented OO interface on a structurally OO DB for engineering, merging ease of use with database performance. Prototype uses NF2 relational model, user-definable abstract datatypes, and an off-line robot programming example to show the symbiosis. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
