Features: A series of software engineering technology books. This book is divided into four parts, consisting of 12 chapters and 10 appendices. Part 1: Object-Oriented System Design (Chapters 1-4) introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented software development. Part 2: Object-Oriented Languages and Systems (Chapters 5-7) compares various object-oriented languages and discusses the development of multilingual systems and solutions. Part 3: Object-Oriented Modeling Fundamentals (Chapters 8-10) introduces the concepts related to implementing abstract data models and types, proposes assertion logic for program verification, and provides a summary of representing the characteristics of object behavior sets using formal methods. Part 4: Object-Oriented Application Frameworks (Chapters 11-12) discusses business process redesign, the Web application of object technology, and its new trends in computing, intelligence, and mobile agents. The appendices introduce Smalltalk, Eiffel, C, Java, and the logical programming language DLP, as well as UML and CORBA IDL (using the ORBacus CORBA application design guide). Suggestions for developing medium and small-term semester projects are also provided.
