Abstract
The paper deals with scaling up ICAD systems using the object paradigm for large actual applications. Several features are then necessary: persistency, consistency, concurrency, and locking. The paper focuses on persistency and concurrency. The specific nature of the implementation of persistency mechanisms depends strongly on the structure of the objects. Thus, requirements concerning the object structure are examined. Several previous solutions for persistency are described. We then present our particular approach comparing it with other works, for multi-user systems requiring concurrency control as well.
