Venari Project

Project Goals

Venari  means "to hunt" in Latin. The thrust of the Venari project
at Carnegie Mellon University is addressing the problem of search,
hence   the   name.  We  touch  upon  areas  in  programming   and
specification  language  design,  semantics,  and  implementation;
concurrent  and  distributed  systems;  databases  and  persistent
objects; and software development libraries and environments.

The  primary  goal  of the Venari Project is to  provide  software
support  for storing, accessing, and retrieving objects  based  on
their  semantics.  To  support that goal,  we  have  designed  and
implemented  linguistic extensions to the Standard ML  programming
language to provide persistent data and transactions.
