"Developers should want to know about and contribute to the development of the object-oriented wireless model, including learning how the model is used to store and retrieve complex information about the conceptual design of a wireless infrastructure.
"It is important for object-oriented wireless system designers to possess a working knowledge of how models for storage and retrieval systems have evolved--from flat files to the Object-Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS) to the next innovation--in order to maximize the productivity of their designs and to reduce the concept-to-deployment period.
"In this article, I'll start with a short discussion on how storage and retrieval systems have evolved from flat file databases to object-oriented database management systems; then I'll cover the object-oriented wireless model basics by presenting the hierarchical structure of database objects representing the conceptual design. I'll discuss some shortcomings of the model and a solution or two for each of these limitations. I'll then wrap up by explaining how to prepare for the upcoming world of the object-oriented wireless model..."
