Activity Model: A Declarative Approach for Capturing Communication Behaviour in Object-Oriented Databases
Summary: Declares an activity model to declaratively capture communication behavior in object-oriented DBs, encoding temporal order of messages and dependencies among cooperating objects. Introduces activity specialization and aggregation, treats activities as communication patterns, and uses first-order temporal logic to constrain behavior, providing a practical OO-DB framework.
