Integrating security technology and object-oriented technology (panel)

Abstract

Object-oriented systems are gaining increasing popularity due to their inherent ability to represent conceptual entities as objects, which is similar to the way humans view the world. This power of representation has led to the development of new generation applications such as Multimedia information processing, Artificial Intelligence, CAD/CAM, and Process control systems. In addition to the power of representation, object-oriented approaches are also being used to design software components and to interconnect heterogeneous database systems.
