The new edition is a gift to the field and should be required reading for all managers." - Adrian J. Bowles, Ph.D., Vice President Giga Information Group "One of the most readable introductions you will find. The new edition offers vital insights into the effective use of objects in business." - Chris Stone, President Object Management Group The first edition of "Object Technology: A Manager's Guide" is widely viewed as the classic introduction to this powerful computing concept. Object technology offers increased agility, significant time-to-market reduction, and the opportunity to exploit the potential of the World Wide Web by deploying globally distributed business systems. At a time when many of the world's largest companies are making the transition to object technology, David Taylor has updated his book to address the important issues facing the growth of object technology and to provide a glimpse into the future of this evolving paradigm. In updating this seminal work, David Taylor has retained the signature conciseness and, clarity of discussion that made the first edition a best-seller. "Object Technology: A Manager's Guide, Second Edition," covers the key terms, emerging concepts, and useful applications of objects. Managers, salespeople, engineers, software developers-anyone interested in understanding or implementing object technology-will find this a lucid introduction to the topic. Highlights of this new edition include: An explanation of how to use objects to create evolutionarysoftware that rapidly adapts to changing business conditions, eliminating the need for most new application development. An introduction to Java, and an explanation of how its useof message interfaces enables a new generation of portable, mix-and-match, Internet-enabled business objects. An update on the state of object databases and extended relationaldatabases, with guidelines for combining the two for optimal informationstorage. An introduction to the new generation of object engines andhow they combine storage and execution capabilities for maximumsoftware integration. 0201309947B09102001

Download or read book Formal Methods and Object Technology written by Stephen J. Goldsack and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rationale Software engineering aims to develop software by using approaches which en able large and complex program suites to be developed in a systematic way. However, it is well known that it is difficult to obtain the level of assurance of correctness required for safety critical software using old fashioned program ming techniques. The level of safety required becomes particularly high in software which is to function without a break for long periods of time, since the software cannot be restarted and errors can accumulate. Consequently programming for mission critical systems, for example, needs to address the requirements of correctness with particular care. In the search for techniques for making software cheaper and more reliable, two important but largely independent influences have been visible in recent years. These are: • Object Technology • Formal Methods First, it has become evident that objects are, and will remain an important concept in software. Experimental languages of the 1970's introduced various concepts of package, cluster, module, etc. giving concrete expression to the importance of modularity and encapsulation, the construction of software com ponents hiding their state representations and algorithmic mechanisms from users, exporting only those features (mainly the procedure calling mechanisms) which were needed in order to use the objects. This gives the software com ponents a level of abstraction, separating the view of what a module does for the system from the details of how it does them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continual evolution of object oriented technologies creates both opportunities and challenges. However, despite the growing popularity of object oriented technology, there are numerous issues that have contributed to its inability to firmly entrench itself and take over for the older, proven technologies. Object oriented technology's image problem has created a highly difficult decision making process for corporations considering widespread adoption of these technologies. Object Oriented Technologies: Opportunities and Challenges addresses concerns, opportunities and technology trends in the application of object oriented technologies. The chapters of this book were selected to represent a variety of perspectives concerning the present and future of this broad sub-field of software development.

Download or read book Object Oriented Technology ECOOP 98 Workshop Reader written by Serge Demeyer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of writing (mid-October 1998) we can look back at what has been a very successful ECOOP’98. Despite the time of the year – in the middle of what is traditionally regarded as a holiday period – ECOOP'98 was a record breaker in terms of number of participants. Over 700 persons found their way to the campus of the Brussels Free University to participate in a wide range of activities. This 3rd ECOOP workshop reader reports on many of these activities. It contains a careful selection of the input and a cautious summary of the outcome for the numerous discussions that happened during the workshops, demonstrations and posters. As such, this book serves as an excellent snapshot of the state of the art in the field of object oriented programming. About the diversity of the submissions A workshop reader is, by its very nature, quite diverse in the topics covered as well as in the form of its contributions. This reader is not an exception to this rule: as editors we have given the respective organizers much freedom in their choice of presentation because we feel form follows content. This explains the diversity in the types of reports as well as in their lay out.

Book excerpt: This book is written for students and developers whowish to master the essential skills and techniques in applying the UML forsoftware development. The reader will learn object-oriented analysis, design andimplementation using appropriate UML models, process, techniques and tool.Accompanying the book is the Community Edition of Visual Pradigm for UML (VP-UML),an award-winning CASE tool, which allows the reader to put the theories learnedinto practice immediately.The authors propose a novel framework for modeling and analysis called the ViewAlignment Techniques (VAT) that helps software developers create developmentmethods. The Activity Analysis Approach (A3), which is particularlysuited for the development of interaction-intensive systems, is described. Theseconcepts have been well proven, as they were followed closely in the developmentof the VP-UML CASE tool.Three chapters in this book describe structural, use case and dynamic modelingand analysis techniques, together with practical tricks and tips that have beengained by the authors from many years of experience. Each of these threechapters includes a mini-case study which illustrates the unique "fromdiagram to code" concept in software development. In the final chapter, amajor case study is included to help the reader reinforce the theories learnedin previous chapters using VP-UML.The key areas in object-oriented technology covered in the book include:Requirements modeling using cases:Identifying, capturing and elaborating requirements.Domain analysis for object identification:Building structural models for objects and their attributes andrelationships.Dynamic analysis and design: Building dynamicmodels, refining structural models and making design decisions.Implementation: Translating UML models intocodes and implementations.Method creation and the framework of ViewAlignment Techniques: Choosing the right UML models and customizing theanalysis and design process.A case study: Showing how the ActivityAnalysis Approach is put into practice, using VP-UML.Additional material can be found at http://www.mcgraw-hill.com.sg/olc/tsang.Instructors will benefit from useful tools such as PowerPoint slides (passwordprotected) and answers to exercises (password protected), while students canobtain source code and additional exercises and test questions.Visual Paradigm for UML, the CASE tool used extensively in this book, washonored in the 15th Annual Software Development Magazine Jolt Productivity Awardin the Design and Analysis Tools category in March 2004.

Download or read book Smalltalk and Object Orientation written by John Hunt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally written to support an introductory course in Object Orientation through the medium of Smalltalk (and VisualWorks in particular). However, it can be used as a book to teach the reader Smalltalk, to introduce object orientation as well as present object oriented design and analysis. It takes as its basic premise that most Computer Scientists I Software Engineers learn best by doing rather than from theoretical notes. The chapters therefore attempt to introduce concepts by getting you the reader to do things, rather than by extensive theoretical discussions. This means that these chapters take a hands-on approach to the subject and assume that the student/reader has a suitable Small talk environment available to them. The chapters are listed below and are divided into six parts. The reader is advised to work through Parts 1 and 3 thoroughly in order to gain a detailed understanding of object orientation. Part 2 then provides an introduction to the Smalltalk environment and language. Other chapters may then be dipped into as required. For example, if the reader wishes to hone their Smalltalk skills then the chapters in Part 4 would be useful. However, if at that point they wish to get on and discover the delights of graphical user interfaces in Smalltalk, then Part 5 could be read next. Part 6 presents some more advances subjects such as metaclasses and concurrency which are not required for straight forward Small talk development.

Download or read book Nonhuman Photography written by Joanna Zylinska and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new philosophy of photography that goes beyond humanist concepts to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent, as both subject and agent. Today, in the age of CCTV, drones, medical body scans, and satellite images, photography is increasingly decoupled from human agency and human vision. In Nonhuman Photography, Joanna Zylinska offers a new philosophy of photography, going beyond the human-centric view to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent. Zylinska argues further that even those images produced by humans, whether artists or amateurs, entail a nonhuman, mechanical element—that is, they involve the execution of technical and cultural algorithms that shape our image-making devices as well as our viewing practices. At the same time, she notes, photography is increasingly mobilized to document the precariousness of the human habitat and tasked with helping us imagine a better tomorrow. With its conjoined human-nonhuman agency and vision, Zylinska claims, photography functions as both a form of control and a life-shaping force. Zylinska explores the potential of photography for developing new modes of seeing and imagining, and presents images from her own photographic project, Active Perceptual Systems. She also examines the challenges posed by digitization to established notions of art, culture, and the media. In connecting biological extinction and technical obsolescence, and discussing the parallels between photography and fossilization, she proposes to understand photography as a light-induced process of fossilization across media and across time scales.
