''From a mailing by OscarNierstrasz...'' ------- ''Object-Oriented Software Composition'' is a new book [1] about object-oriented technology and its application to the development of flexible, composable systems. The book is edited by OscarNierstrasz and DennisTsichritzis, and is published by PrenticeHall. ''Object-Oriented Software Composition'' adopts the viewpoint that object-oriented technology is essentially about composing flexible software applications from software components. Although object-oriented languages, tools and methods have come a long way since the birth of object-oriented programming, the technology is not yet mature. This book presents the results of a series of research projects related to object-oriented software composition that were carried out within the Object Systems Group at the University of Geneva, or by partners in collaborative research projects, during a period of about ten years. As such, this book is an attempt to synthesize and juxtapose ideas that were developed by a group of people working closely together over several years. This book should appeal to researchers and practitioners familiar with object-oriented technology, who are interested in research trends related to software composition. ---- CategoryBook
