Forest Project Overview

The Forest Project

The Forest project began in July 1995 and was concluded in September 2000. Forest began as an investigation into the use of persistent object technology in the construction of large-scale software development enviromments. Over time Forest became more concerned with the development of the persistent object technology itself, and broadened its scope to provide support for all Java(TM) applications manage long-lived, large-scale, complex, shared data.

The key aspect of our approach was the provision of Orthogonal Persistence for the Java platform (OPJ), which dramatically simplifies the application programmer's task and supports continuous computation over very large object stores.

The development of OPJ, and its prototype implementations PJama, was a collaborative research project with the Persistence and Distribution research group in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.
