Analyzes the object-oriented approach as applied to the domain of business information systems. Wang (business information systems, U. of Massachusetts) emphasizes the understanding the object-oriented approach through evolutionary extensions of traditional systems analysis methods. The most important part of object orientation to Wang is message connection between the objects. He deemphasizes second-order concepts such as state graph and cardinality. Annotation c.
