Reviews

Reviewer: Donald J. Bagert

Pancake summarizes a two-day ACM-sponsored meeting of leading experts in object technology (OT) that was convened in order to discuss some of the issues currently facing OT and to provide a forecast for the next five to ten years. The first section of the paper reviews the significance of object technology for both industrial and business applications in today's workplace. (I was pleased that the focus of this section was on the advantages of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm as a modeling tool rather than on its reusability aspects.) This is followed by a discussion of the value of object component reuse, providing a strong argument that OO design reuse might be even more beneficial. A discussion follows of why OT has not been more widely adopted in industry, raising such issues as language limitations, efficiency considerations, standardization issues, and the importance of training. Finally, some critical issues for OT research are discussed. Excerpts of the meeting transcript are provided as sidebars. The paper has been written so that almost anyone in the computing field can follow it (a glossary is even provided), and it should be of interest to virtually any computer scientist, especially those working in OT. The important value for the reader comes not only from the conclusions that are drawn, but from the many issues raised and weighed throughout the paper, which will serve to enlighten and enrich the discussion in the years ahead. I highly recommend it.
