Object-Oriented Technology

The core idea of this book is that object oriented technology is a generic technology whose various technical aspects can be presented in a unified and consistent framework. This applies to both practical and formal aspects of object-oriented technology. Course tested in a variety of object-oriented courses, numerous examples, figures and exercises are presented in each chapter.

The approach in this book is based on typed technologies, and the core notions fit mainstream object-oriented languages such as Java and C#. The book promotes object-oriented constraints (assertions), their specification and verification. Object-oriented constraints apply to specification and verification of object-oriented programs, specification of the object-oriented platform, more advanced concurrent models, database integrity constraints and object-oriented transactions, their specification and verification.

Covers specialized topics including assertions, specification and verification, virtual platform, persistent objects, object databases, query languages and transactions Reinforces core principles with numerous examples, figures and exercises in each chapter Promotes emerging software specification and verification technology Material presented has been tested in a variety of object-oriented courses Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
