Object-oriented development at Brooklyn Union Gas
Jim Davis, T. R. Morgan · IEEE Software · 1993
The application architecture, development environment, and performance of the object-oriented customer-related information system (CRIS-II) are discussed. It is shown that CRIS-II's implementation in a Smalltalk-like execution environment with object-oriented features lessened coupling between components, compared with other object systems. The system accommodates many traditional, non-object-oriented components such as a relational database manager, an online transaction manager, a batch report writer, and a user-interface dialog manager. A technical description of CRIS-II is presented. Experiences with CRIS-II relating to code reuse and system behavior are reviewed.>
