by · Published · Updated

ODBMS.ORG, a vendor-independent non-profit group of high-profile software experts lead by Prof. Roberto Zicari, today announced the exclusive publication of selected conference papers presented at the ICOODB 2008- the International Conference on Object Databases in Berlin on March 13 and 14, 2008.

“ICOODB 2008 was the first international conference focused on object databases in this decade. The conference was a great success, and reflected a re-increased interest in this subject area,” says Roberto V. Zicari, Editor of ODBMS.ORG.

The initiators and conference chairs of ICOODB 2008 were Stefan Edlich at TFH-Berlin and Jim Paterson at Glasgow Caledonian University. The conference program was composed of 23 speakers and saw over 150 conference attendees from all over the world.

One of the main topic at the conference and in the related discussion was about the future direction of object databases. One main question was if new developments should be user driven or standards driven. This discussion was triggered in particular by the keynotes of Mike Card, who chairs the ODBT group in OMG to advance object database standardization, and by Prof. Kazimierz Subieta who advocates Stack-Based Query Language.
