Joint CHOOSE / SI-SE Forum 

Rapid Object-Oriented Software Development
==========================================

University of Bern, Sept. 13th, 1996


Overview

Software industry always pursued two conflicting objectives: quality of
software and rapid delivery. Many oscillations in the history of software
engineering show temporary precedence of one pole over the other. About 15
years ago, object-oriented programming came with the promise of
significant progress on both fronts. Nowadays, object encapsulation is
widely accepted as a factor for better software quality and security; but
on the other hand, the ability of objects alone to speed up software
development is sometimes questioned. By contrast, a number of related or
complementary technologies have emerged which are especially targeted for
time-critical development: scripting languages for rapid prototyping,
specialized object or component frameworks to encapsulate basic
application functionality, programming tools or environments to help
building applications. The term "Rapid Application Development" (RAD) has
been coined to cover the application of such technologies. RAD and object
technology are clearly complementary techniques. For this reason we
decided to organize a forum with tutorials and experience reports that
give an overview of how object technology can be applied for RAD.
