Dear Readers,

Richard
Wiener,
Editor- in-Chief |
We are continuing our celebration of our first birthday.
On this important occasion, Ivar Jacobson has contributed a Guest
Column, “Use Cases and Aspects–Working Seamlessly
Together” presented in this issue. It has been many years
since Ivar contributed his work to JOOP so I am particularly honored
to showcase his work in this issue of JOT. Ivar’s Guest
Column is joined by Sikha Bagui’s column on OODBMS.
Besides these two guest columnists I am very happy
to welcome our new columnist Conrad Bock who starts his series
on UML 2 in this issue. In addtion we have of course our regular
columns by Mahesh Dodani, John Firesmith, Anthony Simons, Won
Kim, and my column. I am most grateful for the
outstanding and regular contributions by these regular columnists.
Their on-going contributions make this a birthday worth celebrating.
This issue contains four feature-length papers dealing
with design patterns, components, e-commerce and J2EE component
development.
As we move into our second year of publication,
I welcome previous authors to contribute again and new authors
to make their first contributions to JOT. |
