Object-Oriented Methodologies and Systems International Symposium ISOOMS '94, Palermo, Italy, September 21-22, 1994. Proceedings

This volume presents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Object-Oriented Methodologies and Systems (ISOOMS '94), held in Palermo, Italy in September 1994 in conjunction with the AICA 1994 Italian Computer Conference.
The 25 full papers included cover not only technical areas of object-orientation, such as databases, programming languages, and methodological aspects, but also application areas. The book is organized in chapters on object-oriented databases, object-oriented analysis, behavior modeling, object-oriented programming languages, object-oriented information systems, and object-oriented systems development.

Issues in extending a relational system with object-oriented features.- A SQL-like query calculus for object-oriented database systems.- Schema evolution for object-based accounting database systems.- Designing and implementing inter-client communication in the O 2 object-oriented database management system.- Rigorous object-oriented analysis.- Object oriented methodologies for large scale projects: Does it work?.- Quantitative and qualitative aspects of object-oriented software development.- Towards a general purpose approach to object-oriented analysis.- A seamless model for object-oriented systems development.- Structural and behavioural views on OMT-classes.- Combining two approaches to object-oriented analysis.- A rewriting technique for implementing active object systems.- Beyond coupling modes.- Testing of object-oriented programming systems (OOPS): A fault-based approach.- An ambiguity resolution algorithm.- On providing a high-level C interface for an object-oriented, C++ system.- Integrating objects with constraint-programming languages.- Object-oriented representation of shape information.- The development of an Object-Oriented Multimedia Information System.- An intelligent information system for heterogeneous data exploration.- Effective optimistic concurrency control in multiversion object bases.- Reusing object oriented design: An algebraic approach.- Reuse in object-oriented Information Systems development.- An object-oriented approach to the integration of online services into Office Automation environments.- A linguistic approach to the development of Object Oriented Systems using the NL system LOLITA.
