The core idea of this book is that object- oriented technology is a
generic technology whose various technical aspects can be presented in a
unified and consistent framework. This applies to both practical and
formal aspects of object-oriented technology. Course tested in a variety
of object-oriented courses, numerous examples, figures and exercises are
presented in each chapter.
The approach in this book is based on typed technologies, and the core
notions fit mainstream object-oriented languages such as Java and C#.
The book promotes object-oriented constraints (assertions), their
specification and verification. Object-oriented constraints apply to
specification and verification of object-oriented programs,
specification of the object-oriented platform, more advanced concurrent
models, database integrity constraints and object-oriented transactions,
their specification and verification.
