| 20120197944 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OBJECT'S LIFETIME IN AN OBJECT ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT - A system and method determines an object's lifetime. An object lifecycle engine may work with an object oriented environment. As objects are created, an object graph may be constructed having one or more roots.
