Formulation of an Integrating Framework for Conceptual Object-Oriented Systems Design

In this paper, an overview is given of the different alternatives to an integrating computational frame- work. A new framework will be introduced, which in- corporates the latest computational techniques and more importantly a mind-set emphasizing e xibility, modularity, portability and re-usability. Distributed object computing extends an object- oriented system which allows objects to interact across heterogenous networks and interoperate as a unied whole. Integrated computing frameworks are discussed, together with data transport techniques such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to achieve platform, code and meta-model independent integra- tion.
