In a contest held in conjunction with the 1993 Object World Conference and sponsored by Computerworld and the Object Management Group, major companies submitted case studies describing how they had successfully put object-oriented technology to work. This book contains case studies which were judged to be the best commercial applications of object-oriented technology. Each case study provides a description of the application, the role object-oriented technology played in its formation, and practical information about the development process. Through introductions to the various categories of applications, the editors offer their insights, provide perspective, and reveal the common thread that ties these diverse applications together.
