The efficient execution of a method has a great impact on a system response time. Optimising access to data returned by methods is difficult as methods are written in high-level programming languages. Moreover, estimating a method's execution cost is another serious problem because of the complexity of a method's code. A promising technique to tackle the problem of optimising execution of methods is based on method materialisation. Within our project we developed, so called, hierarchical method materialisation technique. In this paper we present a prototype system for hierarchical materialisation of methods and for the management of their results in an object-oriented database.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
