Business Objects: Re-Engineering for Re-Use

Business Objects: Re-engineering for re-use is one of the first books to describe a revolutionary new way to build much better computer systems. Unlike other computing revolutions, this is not concerned with technology or computer languages.
Instead it involves changing the way we see (and so think about) the things that information stored in computers represents - what is called our paradigms. These currently have antiquated entity-oriented foundations that were developed to work with paper and ink technology. Until recently system builders were embedding these in computer systems. They are now starting to update the paradigms, bringing them into line with computer technology. They are re-engineering their entity foundations, transforming their business entities into more general, and so more re-usable, business objects. This makes the business paradigms (and so computer systems) both much simpler and functionally richer.
