Abstract
PRIMA is a non-standard database system developed at the
University Kaiserslautern. Its major purpose is the support of
engineering design applications, such as VLSI design and software
engineering. The applications require tailored application-dependent
interfaces which, however, all share basic notions like that of a
composite object. Hence, the approach of PRIMA is to offer an
application-independent complex-object interface (the molecule-
atom data model, shortly called MAD model) and to provide
means to easily augment this interface by application-dependent
functionality. In the following, we will concentrate on the MAD
model and its implementation.
