Object-oriented case-supported development of information systems
Abstract We present an object-oriented approach to development based on a high-level problem-oriented external-view model of an information system. It covers the integrated specification and design of the structural (data) and behavioral (processing) components of an information system. We thus avoid current consistency problems associated with separate models for structure, such as entity relationship, and for processing, such as structured analysis. We also propose a formal specification language that, with CASE support, allows for specification execution and simulation before actual code generation is performed for system implementation. Thus, a true prototyping capability is provided for complex application iteration. Santiago, Chile
