Trygve Reenskaug
Trygve Mikkjel Heyerdahl Reenskaug (born 21 June 1930) is a Norwegian computer scientist and professor emeritus of the University of Oslo. He formulated the model–view–controller (MVC) pattern for graphical user interface (GUI) software design in 1979 while visiting the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). His first major software project, "Autokon," produced a successful computer-aided design – computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) program which was first used in 1963, and continued in use by shipyards worldwide for more than 30 years. Reenskaug described his early Smalltalk and object-oriented programming conceptual efforts as follows: He has been extensively involved in research into object-oriented methods and developed the Object Oriented Role Analysis and Modeling (OOram) and the OOram tool in 1983. He founded the information technology company Taskon in 1986, which developed tools based on OOram. The OOram ideas matured and evolved substantially into the BabyU ...

OOram
Object-oriented role analysis and modeling (OOram) is a method, based on the concept of ''role'', for performing object-oriented modeling. (Presented at OOPSLA 1996 Workshop: ''Exploration of Framework Design Principles'') Originally (1989) coined ''Object Oriented Role Analysis, Synthesis and Structuring'' (OORASS), the method focuses on describing patterns of interaction without connecting the interaction to particular objects/instances. OOram was originally developed by Trygve Reenskaug (1996), a professor at the University of Oslo and the founder of the Norwegian IT company Taskon. The use of "roles" in OOram is similar in application to that of agent-oriented programming. Enterprise models created according to OOram may have a number of views, with each view presenting certain aspects of a model.Terje Totland (1997)5.2.8 Object-Oriented role analysis and modeling (OOram)Thesis, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim.

UML Partners
UML Partners was a consortium of system integrators and vendors convened in 1996 to specify the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Initially the consortium was led by Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and James Rumbaugh of Rational Software. The UML Partners' UML 1.0 specification draft was proposed to the Object Management Group (OMG) in January 1997. During the same month the UML Partners formed a Semantics Task Force, chaired by Cris Kobryn, to finalize the semantics of the specification and integrate it with other standardization efforts. The result of this work, UML 1.1, was submitted to the OMG in August 1997 and adopted by the OMG in November 1997. Member list Members of the consortium include: *Digital Equipment Corporation * Hewlett-Packard *i-Logix * IBM * ICON Computing * IntelliCorp * MCI Systemhouse *Microsoft *ObjecTime * Oracle Corporation * Platinum Technology * Ptech *Rational Software * Reich Technologies * Softeam * Taskon *Texas Instruments *Unisys See also *Unified M ...

The Money Act of 17 April 1875 discontinued the terms daler and skilling, and it was decided that the monetary unit should be a krone, divided into 100 øre. This was done to prepare for Norway's entry, on 16 October that year, into the Scandinavian Monetary Union. This union had been established between Denmark and Sweden in 1873 on the recommendation of a joi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
