The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 45, No. 10 (Oct., 1994), pp. 1108-1122 (15 pages) Military communications networks are large complex systems; their physical dynamics, composition ...

The use of computer aided design tools has now proliferated to many areas of engineering and the use of robust and flexible design tools is paramount to modeling complex systems. Hybrid powertrains ...

This article proposes an object-oriented analysis (OOA) technique based on the unified modeling language (UML). The technique emphasizes its OOA process, that is composed of the following activities: ...

Transforming an object-oriented model into the specifications required to create the system. Moving from object-oriented analysis to object-oriented design is accomplished by expanding the model into ...

When it comes to providing reliable, flexible, and efficient object persistence for software systems, today's designers and architects are faced with many choices. From the technological perspective, ...

In my time, I've seen too many standards bodies get subverted or run aground to expect much from public standards processes, but I'm always open to the possibility that -- this time -- things might ...

When it comes to inheritance, relational database theory and object-oriented programming have more in common than you might think. Understanding that overlap is critical in designing the object model ...

When object-oriented programming languages began to be used in enterprise applications, designers had problems fitting the object-oriented model with the relational model. In the object-oriented model ...
