Atkinson and Ray Welland, editors, Fully Integrated Data Environments, ESPRIT Basic Research Series, pages 496-501. Springer-Verlag, 2000 view details Abstract: To overcome the limitations resulting from the traditional separation between program and query optimization, the Tycoon system integrates the analysis and rewriting of queries and programs using a common persistent intermediate representation (TML). TML is a continuation passing style (CPS) language which excels in its explicit, high-level representation of control and data dependencies. We describe Tycoon's innovative reflective system architecture that integrates program and query optimization and that supports modular compile-time as well as global run-time optimizations. We formally define TML and its core rewrite rules that unify many well-known optimizing transformations. Moreover, we describe how optimizations across abstraction barriers are performed in Tycoon and we report on our experience with optimizing large modular persistent applications.

Atkinson and Ray Welland, editors, Fully Integrated Data Environments, ESPRIT Basic Research Series, pages 365-381. Springer-Verlag, 2000. view details Abstract: We describe the Tycoon persistent system architecture that achieves a high degree of scalability and interoperability through a full integration of persistent data, programs and threads while maintaining a strict separation of storage, manipulation, modeling and representation tasks into well-defined system layers. For several of these layers alternative implementations with distinct operational support are provided that can be configured dynamically to match best the requirements of a given application. Moreover, we present Tycoon's architectural contributions to enable interoperability with existing generic services like databases, user interface toolkits and C++ program libraries.

Atkinson and Ray Welland, editors, Fully Integrated Data Environments, ESPRIT Basic Research Series, pages 431-433. Springer-Verlag, 2000 view details Abstract:
    The Tycoon Store Protocol (TSP) specifies a clean interface between the frontend and the backend of fully integrated persistent environments. In contrast to high-level relational or object-oriented database languages, TSP is based on a low level, untyped, but highly flexible store model that is particularly well-suited for the implementation of higher-order persistent polymorphic languages. We describe the TSP operations in some detail and give insight into TSP's design rationale. We also report on the existing set of TSP-compliant backends including TSP adaptors to commercial object stores. A TSP client can choose dynamically between these backends and it is possible to exchange complex object graphs between all TSP-compliant stores via a platform-independent external data representation.
