This gzipped tar file includes a number of files for a significant data warehouse project that I helped build using Smalltalk and Gemstone including:

application partitioning

part of a chapter that I contributed to for a Distributed Smalltalk book

persistence management

description of a persistence management framework for data warehousing - sort of nitty gritty about using the specific framework we developed, but maybe some good abstractions too?

historical reporting

some notes about the problem of class evolution over time and how it impacts reporting

reuse planning

this was a cool idea - the specific document itself isn't so interesting, but the idea for a contract between software developer and "reuse librarian" was pretty forward thinking

lookup framework

a companion to the persistence framework

reuse manager

defining the role for the reuse manager - related to the reuse plan shown in this folder

workflow framework

an object model for a workflow framework

dynamic attributes

unfinished paper I wrote once when I thought I had discovered a new pattern....or had a boss that wanted me to talk at a conference

dynamic attributes object model

hand-written, no less!
