Ebook: Business Object Design and Implementation II: OOPSLA’96, OOPSLA’97 and OOPSLA’98 Workshop Proceedings

This proceedings contains some of the papers presented at the Business Object and Implementation Workshops held at OOPSLA'96, OOPSLA'97 and OOPSLA'98. The main theme of the workshops is to document the evolution of business objects, from ~any perspectives, including modelling, implementation, standards and applications. The 1996 workshop intended to clarify the specification, design, and implementation of interoperable, plug and play, distributed business object components and their suitability for delivery of enterprise applications; and to assess the impact of the WWW and, more specifically, the Intranet on the design and implementation of business object components. The main focus of the workshop was: What design patterns will allow implementation of business objects as plug and play components? How can these components be assembled into domain specific frameworks? What are the appropriate architectures/mechanisms as distributed object systems? What for implementing these frameworks organisational and development process issues need to be addressed to successfully deliver these systems? Is this approach an effective means for deploying enterprise application solutions? The third annual workshop (OOPSLA'97) was jointly sponsored by the Accredited Standards Committee X3H7 Object Information Management Technical Committee and the Object Management Group (OMG) Business Object Domain Task Force (BODTF) for the purpose of soliciting technical position papers relevant to the design and implementation of Business Object Systems.

This collection of papers presents state of the art work on Business Objects and their management presented at Business Object Design and Implementation held at the last three OOPSLA conferences. Business objects are established and widely used in industry. This collection of papers includes a contribution of experiences and research by both academics and practitioners who are renowned in this area. The emphasis of the book is on establishing Business Objects Standards, applications of Business Objects and systems and workflow systems.
