Is there any mechanism in Andrew for sharing objects? If not, has anyone worked on incorporating a database system with Andrew that would enable controlled object access? Thanks for any info. Steve Cousins Medical Informatics Lab Washington University St. Louis, MO sbc@informatics.wustl.edu

No there isn't any mechanism for shared objects, or any work on storing the objects in a database -- as far as I know. We have looked at some of the issues involved, and I'm planning to prototype some shared object mechanisms in order to better understand those issues. I'd be interested in learning more about your intended application(s) and requirements. --david [An Andrew ToolKit view (a spreadsheet) was included here, but could not be displayed.]
