This volume presents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Object-Oriented Methodologies and Systems (ISOOMS '94), held in Palermo, Italy in September 1994 in conjunction with the AICA 1994 Italian Computer Conference. The 25 full papers included cover not only technical areas of object-orientation, such as databases, programming languages, and methodological aspects, but also application areas. The book is organized in chapters on object-oriented databases, object-oriented analysis, behavior modeling, object-oriented programming languages, object-oriented information systems, and object-oriented systems development.
