X Abstract: Process-centered software engineering environments,
such as Arcadia, impose a variety of requirements on database
technology that to date have not been well supported by available
object-oriented databases. Some of these requirements include
multi-language access and sharing, support for independent
relations, and support for triggers. Triton is an object-oriented
database management system designed to support the Arcadia
software engineering environment. It can be used as a general
purpose DBMS, although it has specialized features to support the
software process capabilities in Arcadia in the form of the
APPLA~\cite{sutton90d} language. Triton was developed as
prototype to explore the requirements for software environments
and to provide prototypical solutions. By making these
requirements known it is hoped that better solutions will
eventually be provided by the database community.
