Object-oriented technology (OOT)  is a software design model in which objects contain both data and the instructions that work on the data. It is increasingly deployed in distributed computing.
Industry:Technology
In an object-oriented system, all data is represented as discrete objects with which the user and other objects may interact. Each object contains data as well as information about the executable file needed to interpret that data. An object-oriented system allows the user to focus completely on tasks rather than tools. Examples of object-oriented programming languages include C++ and Smalltalk.
Industry:Technology
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a style of programming characterized by the identification of classes of objects closely linked with the methods (functions) with which they are associated. It also includes ideas of inheritance of attributes and methods. It is a technique based on a mathematical discipline, called “abstract data types,” for storing data with the procedures needed to process that data. OOP offers the potential to evolve programming to a higher level of abstraction.
Industry:Technology
An object-oriented database management system (OODBMS) applies concepts of object-oriented programming, and applies them to the management of persistent objects on behalf of multiple users, with capabilities for security, integrity, recovery and contention management. An OODBMS is based on the principles of “objects,” namely abstract data types, classes, inheritance mechanisms, polymorphism, dynamic binding and message passing.
Industry:Technology
Object-oriented analysis and design (OOA&D) tools support object analysis and design technologies and commonly use Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation with a variety of methodologies to assist in the creation of highly modular and reusable software. Most also support the use of Domain Specific Language concepts as a complement to UML. Applications, data, networks and computing systems are treated as objects that can be mixed and matched flexibly rather than as components of a system with built-in relationships. As a result, an application does not need to be tied to a specific system, or data to a specific application. Please note that the UML standard from Object Management Group (OMG) has become the de facto standard for OOA&D tools.
Industry:Technology
Object-based technologies are technologies in which objects have encapsulation.
Industry:Technology
Object-based middleware is runtime software that enables objects (components) to work cooperatively with a container program or another object, even if the software is distributed across multiple computers.
Industry:Technology
An object transaction monitor (OTM) is an application program — similar to the mainframe Customer Information Control System (CICS) in function, but not in spirit — that represents a consistent model of an application for a modular and potentially highly distributed environment.
Industry:Technology
Object role modeling is a proprietary method that uses English to convey data design elements. The object is to enable developers to easily present the elements to end users who are unfamiliar with modeling notation.
Industry:Technology
Object request brokers (ORBs) are an enriched middleware platform — compared with their predecessors, RPC middleware — including program activation, which most RPCs did not offer. Full-featured CORBA ORBs are transactional platforms, with a special affinity for the object-oriented programming model, including the activation and communications services that are particularly geared to the object-oriented software model. ORB vendors added transaction management, security and other features to their ORBs to enable demanding production applications. OMG CORBA emerged as the widely shared standard programming model for ORBs.
