GALILEO BIBLIOGRAPHY


Galileo 97 is the result of a redesign of the Galileo language [Alb83, ACO85, AGOP88] aimed at a better integration of an object mechanism into a database programming language.

The role mechanism in Galileo 97 is shaped over the one proposed for Fibonacci [ABGO93, AGO95].

An implementation technique for objects with roles is discussed in [ADG95].

The operators to construct virtual objects are discussed in [AAG95]. An overview of the language features is given in [AAB+95].
