Readers will find a theory of information systems which unifies ideas from computer science with the best of business practice.

Good for what it tries to do but...,
By
This review is from: Object Oriented Ssadm (Textbook Binding)
The book is a very good exploration of the perspective it starts from - which is basically that objects are state machines (known as entity life histories in SSADM).It shows how a reusable method is found where two or more events have the same effect, at the same state, in a state machine. And its (partly automated) derivation of event-oriented procedures from object-oriented state machines is remarkable. However, a weakness is that the discussion is all about method bodies rather than interfaces. And the authors are not enthusiastic about inheritance or polymorphism.
