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.
