      abstract = {Until recently, information systems have been designed  around different business functions, such as accounts  payable and inventory control. Object-oriented modeling, in  contrast, structures systems around the data--the  objects--that make up the various business functions.  Because information about a particular function is limited  to one place--to the object--the system is shielded from  the effects of change. Object-oriented modeling also  promotes better understanding of requirements, clear  designs, and more easily maintainable systems.This book  focuses on recent developments in representational and  processing aspects of complex data-intensive applications.  The chapters cover "hot" topics such as application  behavior and consistency, reverse engineering,  interoperability and collaboration between objects, and  work-flow modeling. Each chapter contains a review of its  subject, followed by object-oriented modeling techniques  and methodologies that can be applied to real-life  applications.Contributors : F. Casati, S.
