New Cook Paper on Transparent Persistence.
Also, ODBMS.ORG published a new paper by Ben Wiedermann, Ali Ibrahim, and
William R. Cook on Interprocedural Query Extraction for Transparent Persistence(PDF).
Transparent Persistence promises to integrate programming languages and databases
by allowing programs to access persistent data with the same ease as non-persistent
data. The work is focused on programs written in the current version of Java, without
languages changes. However, the techniques developed by Cook and his colleagues
may also be of value in conjunction with object-oriented languages extended with
high-level query syntax.
