Review: "Realizing the Object-Oriented Lifecycle does not attempt to convince the reader of the theoretical goodness of objects as much as it describes the components of a comprehensive approach to the use of currently available object technology. It demystifies and fosters the use of object technology by putting it in a practical software engineering context. Its creation was inspired by the recognition that the adoption of object technology in "mission-critical" applications - such as semiconductor manufacturing - will be constrained by the lack of robust software lifecycle methods and trained practitioners. It fills part of this need and turns the promise of object technology into practical reality." "The scope of object-oriented systems includes much more than just languages or methods. This book, therefore, covers both the execution environment (object request brokers, object-oriented databases, "message buses," etc.) and the development environment (process models, object analysis and design, object-oriented CASE tools, integrated environments) within a common architectural approach. Several lists of criteria are offered to help the reader select the most suitable technologies and standards for their specific projects. Examples of object technology in the "real world" are provided in particular case studies in computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) from SEMATECH and some of its member companies." "This work is well suited as a textbook for students of the software profession as well as handbook for the experienced practitioner looking for new insights into object technology development."--BOOK JACKET
