TORPEDO is an industry initiative focused on analyzing the sophistication of Object-Relational mapping software. TORPEDO contains a specification, a reference implementation, and a set of verified and non-verified comparable results of products run against TORPEDO.
TORPEDO was started by The Middleware Company in 2004. As of November, 2004, The Middleware Company and related research and consulting businesses have been discontinued. TheServerSide.com, TheServerSide.NET and related conferences are continuing operation as part of the TechTarget network.
TechTarget has been very generous in insuring that TORPEDO lives on. The Torpedo Group was formed and TechTarget has transfered TORPEDO assets to the Torpedo Group.
The Torpedo Group is supported by membership. We encourage companies and individuals to join us.
