Abstract

Application software started with a monolithic architecture in the 1960s, i.e., a single executable file for the entire application. For better productivity in software development, software application in a typical corporate environment today consists of multiple components including off-the-shelf products. Froglingo is a unified solution for database management and programming language. It is an alternative to the combination of software technologies including DBMS, programming language, web server, and file system. The Enterprise-Participant (EP) data model, Froglingo without variables, is a computer language equivalent to a class of total recursive functions. It brings the monolith back to application software. In this paper, we show that Froglingo is a monolith and demonstrate that this monolith with the EP data model improves the productivity in both software development and software maintenance.
