Prototyping with Objects

An in-depth study of rapid software prototyping, this volume demonstrates the utility of object-oriented languages within this phase of the software life-cycle, and shows programmers how to develop a set of very high-level, graphical tools in minimal time to easily prototype a model. Illustrates the author's rapid prototyping paradigm defining an interactive system for the development of state-of-the-art prototyping environments. This system is based on a three-part decomposition of all prototyped software, the Model-Point-of-View-Controller (MPVC), which is an object-oriented design method facilitating the implementation of tools for the interpretation, manipulation, observation and animation of models representing programs and data structures. For researchers and engineers in software engineering and artificial intelligence.
