Author Description

Over the past few years, the object-oriented approach has gained much attention in the software engineering and data base fields. The object-oriented approach may have an impact on how information systems are designed, how business analysis is performed, and how we can guarantee that the system fits into an organization's strategies. Among the central questions addressed within these proceedings are: how does the object-oriented approach influence the analysis and design of information systems; what changes must be applied to the analysis and design products, and to the design process; can an enterprise be analysed and information systems designed in an object-oriented way; and what extensions would the object-oriented approach need.
