Here is the first book to introduce Catalysis, a next-generation method for constructing open component systems from frameworks, based on UML and OMG standards. Using Catalysis, programmers have the ability to describe a complex system based on content perspectives or views. Each view defines a pattern with supporting models. Catalysis provides well-defined consistency rules across models and the mechanisms for composing views. .
