The agent paradigm promotes the concept of goalorientation. Mainstream object-oriented modeling techniques do not account for such an agent-specific aspect. Therefore, dedicated techniques for agent-oriented modeling are required which are based on the concepts and notations of object-oriented modeling and extend these in order to support agent-specific concepts. Especially, the relation betwee...

MOOSE (Multimodel Object Oriented Simulation Environment) is an application framework for modeling and simulation, under development at University of Florida, based on Object Oriented Physical Modeling (OOPM). OOPM extends object-oriented program design with visualization and a deenition of system modeling that reinforces the relation of model to program. OOPM is a natural mechanism for modelin...

In an object-oriented environment the relations are used to present a semantic connection among model elements. However, literature regarding the subject of object orientation presents these relations differently and therefore, in different tools it is realized in different ways. In this article we investigate the relations among the classes taking into consideration the dynamic behavior of obj...

FACE is an object–oriented, self-descripting data model with first-class types. FACE can be used to model software, e.g. object–oriented frameworks. We explore techniques and mechanisms to implement the reflective FACE data model in the statically typed, object–oriented language C++. Some comparison of FACE with other meta level approaches like MetaObject Protocols or Open Implementations is do...

There is much interest in developing a rm semantic basis for object-oriented modeling concepts. By providing precise characterizations of object-oriented (OO) modeling concepts one gains the ability to build precise OO models of behavior and structure that can be rigorously analyzed. In this paper we present the current results of our ongoing formalization of the Uniied Modeling Language (UML)....

Transaction level modeling (TLM) aims at abstract description and highperformance simulation of bus-based System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms. While languages and libraries providing the necessary basic modeling mechanisms are available, there is ongoing discussion on modeling styles for their usage. This contribution employs object-oriented modeling of transaction data and bus protocols, targeting ...

As the development of industrial software applications become more complex, the benefits of developing a comprehensive “blueprint” enabling developers to visualize the scope of a project increase substantially. One of the key points in the development of most industrial applications is the design of the database. The object-oriented design paradigm enhances database modeling because the object ...
