The  papers presented in this book describe useful and sometimes elegant  concepts, good practices (in programming and in specifications), and  solid underlying theory that is of interest and importance to those  who deal with increased complexity of business and systems. Most  concepts have been successfully used in actual industrial projects,  while others are from the forefront of research. Authors include  practitioners, business thinkers, academics and applied  mathematicians. These seemingly different papers address different  aspects of a single problem - taming complexity. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eBehavioral Specifications of Businesses and Systems\u003c\/em\u003e emphasizes  simplicity and elegance in specifications without concentrating on  particular methodologies, languages or tools. It shows how to handle  complexity, and, specifically, how to succeed in understanding and  specifying businesses and systems based upon precise and abstract  concepts. It promotes reuse of such concepts, and of constructs based  on them, without taking reuse for granted. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eBehavioral Specifications of Businesses and Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is the  second volume of papers based on a series of workshops held alongside  ACM's annual conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems  Languages and Applications (OOPSLA) and European Conference on  Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP). The first volume,  \u003cem\u003eObject-Oriented Behavioral Specifications\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by Haim Kilov  and William Harvey, was published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in  1996.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792386292\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5229-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 315\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578426548364,"sku":"9780792386292","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792386292.jpg?v=1776432657","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792386292","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
