Abstract
This paper discusses the similarities and differences between object-oriented (OO) and component-based development. It begins by describing the evolution of the abstraction process and the emergence of OO programming. Next, the limitations of OO programming are discussed, along with an explanation of how component-based development was born to serve as a complimentary extension to OO to overcome its primary disadvantages. Given the differences between objects and components, this paper makes recommendations for developing systems using both constructs. Finally, the future of objects and components is discussed.
From the Paper
"Assembly languages started the abstraction process by coding the binary-based machine code, or pulse train of successive 0s and 1s, into assemblies representing particular machine code sequences (Hoagland). Next, higher level languages made coding closer to human readable. The language and its compilers were coordinated such that the output would give a computational valid result. OO programming raised the level of abstraction in programming even further. OO programming is a programming language model organized around "objects" rather than "actions" and data rather than logic."

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons behind the current growing popularity of the "object-oriented approach" in programming and as a result the lessening of popularity of the "structured" approach. The advantages of both forms of programming are examined. The ?software crisis? that prompted this changeover is also examined. A number of case studies are presented, illustrating the use of object-oriented languages and programs with attention to what it is about object-oriented design that makes it so attractive currently for use in developing information systems.
From the Paper
"In the past two decades, and now occurring at an ever-faster rate, a vast collection of computer software has been designed to help people organize different kinds of information in the most efficient way possible. This paper examines one of the most important developments to have come out of this push for increasingly sophisticated information systems: The shift from structured approach to an object-oriented approach."

Abstract
The Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Model uses an object oriented framework to allow a concise description of complex information items, and allow the specification of complex navigation patterns and interface transformations. This paper provides an explanation for each step in the process and discusses. The past, present and future business uses of the model.
From the Paper
"A well-designed application is important because business owners understand that how a website functions will either create repeat customers or discourage customers from visiting the site. It is essential that a website is easy to navigate and that it functions in an efficient manner. It is also important for a business to be able to correct problems with the system quickly, which will prevent the loss of customers and profits. As a result of the demands that are placed on business to have an efficient website a precise software production process is needed. (Abrah?o, Fons, Pastor 2000, 2) The OOHDM process provides the stability needed to accommodate an e-commerce site."

Abstract
This paper suggests that one needs to be aware of the dogma of object-oriented programming. Just as many problems have ?natural? object-oriented solutions, equally many are best solved in a functional way. The author suggests that the best programs and projects are mostly a mixture of both.
From the Paper
?Data fields and methods are transmitted to the subclasses by their parent and ancestor classes, but the subclasses have the authority to override these with more specific versions. A virtual method is thus defined when it is able to override another, which means that the version chosen will determined at run-time. A wrong version might be used when, for example, one method is called from within another.?

From the Paper
"The practice of considering the proper elements of a good software design patterns plays an essential role to an easy development and maintenance of applications and systems. A good software design pattern provides a well-engineered architecture of programming commands and procedures in which the solution it brings encapsulates the universal solution of the problem it covers, thereby, making it a standard and applicable component to other software development tasks. A real design pattern also should allow the possibility of a community of developers to either fully utilize the same pattern or use the pattern as a solution reference applied with minimal changes."

Abstract
This paper explains that Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS), which emerged in the 1990s, quickly found their niche in handling complex data types; however, the long-term vision of OODBMSs to replace relational databases has never materialized. The author points out that OODBMS technology remains a small niche market, generating only around a few hundred million dollars in revenues, compared to the multi-billion dollar relational database market. The paper states that the goals of large relational database vendors, such as Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft, have been to synthesize the best of relational databases and OODBMs, such as the flexibility of the OODBMS data model and the performance of relational database functions, into an Object-Relational Database Management System.
From the Paper
"OODBMSs first started to be researched in the 1980s and the first commercial products gradually appeared in the early 1990s from vendors such as Object Design, Objectivity, Versant, Computer Associates and Ardent. By the late 1980s and early 1990s it was recognized that object oriented (OO) languages had some very strong advantages over non-OO languages for many programming applications. OODBMSs emerged to reduce the impedance mismatch between the programming languages and the DBMS, to offer performance advantages (due to navigation from roots and sophisticated caching and swizzling technologies), and to provide transparent support for complex user-defined types including the ability to store, call and query complex objects directly."

From the Paper
"Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) offers an approach to system design that focuses on basic problems not covered in traditional approaches. This alternative approach employs methods that emphasize the definition, structure and use of data and which concentrate on the procedures and functions used to define meaningful results. The goal of OOAD is to provide a common basis for the system professional and the information system use so they can better understand one another in the exchange of information about existing systems and expectations for future development. Structured analysis also has this goal, but uses process analysis rather than data analysis, which is the key tool within object-oriented approaches. There are several types of object-oriented approaches which are used..."

"OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
Introduction
This research reviews issues associated with object-oriented programming. While object-oriented programming is a separate paradigm, it is interrelated to the parallel programming, functional programming, and concurrent programming paradigms (Morin & Puaut, 1997).
General Issues
A system is often defined as a complex of interacting objects that have some form of process behavior. In developing a program to operate a process, the programmer "has in mind a systematic correspondence by which the contents of certain storage cells represent objects and relationships within the subject domain" (Winnograd & Flores, 1991, p. 104). Research in artificial ..."

Abstract
This is a research paper on systems design and analysis, which explores Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the different types of modeling that are at the analyst's disposal to apply in various situations. It discusses the numerous stages of a design project and makes a point of emphasizing that the most important parts of an design/analysis project are in those very planning and design stages.
From the Paper
"The most important stage in designing a system that meets the needs of the business is the planning and design stage. It is easy for an analyst to jump into the job without a clear picture of what the final product should look like. The system must meet the technical needs, yet still be manageable for the user. Many want to jump from concept to coding without proper attention to the most important part of the process, the planning stage. Often the planning stage is given the least amount of consideration in the design process, when in reality it should be the stage upon which the most emphasis is placed."

The proposal contains a literary review that focuses on the cultural influences that impact information technology and the use of information technology in strategic planning. To carry out this research, the use of academic and professional journals, books, databases, the internet and surveys are implemented. The results of the research find that culture has greatly influenced the use of information technology. The research also demonstrates that organizations utilize information technology to meet their strategic planning needs.
From the Paper
"An article entitled ?The information Technology revolution? (2001) explains that information technology has had a profound impact upon the macroeconomic environment. Various forms of information technology including computer software, hardware and telecommunications equipment has inundated our society and culture. (The Information Technology Revolution, 2001) These technological advances have come at a rapid pace which has been reflective of our cultural needs and desires. Our needs and desires exist at the individual level and the corporate level and have aided in fashioning a culture that worships technology.
There are many theories that attempt to explain man?s need to create. According to Brinkman (1997) culture provides the primary explanation for human nature. Borgida et al, (2002) reiterates the influence of culture on information technology saying that the impact of the political and social environment has become a mainstay in the field of social scientific study."

Abstract
The differences between the emerging, component-based development and long-standing, object-oriented (OO) development are often unclear. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between OO and component-based development. It begins by describing the evolution of the abstraction process and the emergence of OO programming. Next, the limitations of OO programming are discussed, along with an explanation of how component-based development was born to serve as a complimentary extension to OO to overcome its primary disadvantages. Given the differences between objects and components, this paper concludes with recommendations for developing systems using both constructs. Finally, the future of objects and components is discussed. The paper includes figures.
From the Paper
"There are also other differences between components and objects. One is the division of labor (Hurwitz, 1998). Components create two classes of developers. The first group of developers are highly skilled developers who can use all the power of objects to create fine-grained objects that they then string together to create large-grained business-oriented components. The second group is the traditional corporate developers who do not know how to program in complex object-oriented languages. These developers use components created by the more skilled developers. The corporate programmer is not allowed to change the component?s content. Thus, a coarse-grained component does not allow inheritance to be applied, which protects the integrity of the component and helps prevent mistakes."

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons behind the current growing popularity of the agent-oriented software approach, discussing the specific reasons that it is more powerful and more versatile and examining why such an approach is significantly better for specific network applications, such as community care facilities. The advantages of agent-oriented software (and object-oriented software, of which agent-oriented software is an extension) are compared to the advantages of the previously favored structured approach and the ?software crisis? that prompted the changeover from the structured approach to the object-oriented, and then the agent-oriented approaches are also examined.

From the Paper
"We all know that we are drowning in information. And we all also know that a good deal of the information that is floating around in the world today is just not all that useful ? or at least not that useful for us. Thus we need powerful tools to help us organize and control the available information so that all the information that we need ? and only the information that we need ? is accessible to us. This is especially true in certain situations such as community care and other social service and healthcare organizations where having access to the right information quickly can be a question of life and death."

Abstract
This paper explains that nearly all developmental theories view heterosexual orientations as the default option; whereas, homosexual or bisexual orientations, referred to as LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer), is considered to be the deviant behaviour. The author examines the differences and similarities in the development of LGBTQ youth as compared to heterosexual youth with respect to the development of sexual identities, the availability of positive adult role models and the development of interpersonal peer group and dating skills. The paper concludes that the major difference between LGBTQ adolescent development and heterosexual adolescent development is within society's views of homosexuality and bisexuality. Society should change these attitudes and should equalize same-sex legal rights.
From the Paper
"The development of a strong and stable identity, according to many theorists including Erikson, is the single most important developmental task that adolescents face. Failure to successfully develop an identity, or to struggle excessively through identity development, can have psychological and social ramifications that last for the duration of an individual's lifespan. Thus, the study of identity development is a widely popular topic within the social sciences. Recently, the identity development of LGBTQ youth has begun to be more closely scrutinized."

Abstract
This paper investigates the connection between the types or forms of government and their performance in terms of the human development index (HDI), which is a more reliable measurement of development as a referent of its effect and contribution to the human person. The author argues that democratic forms of government are better able to provide for the advancement of human development because they allow for more meaningful public participation. The paper indicates that more than 60% of all dominant-assembly-oriented types (mostly referred to as parliamentary systems of government) and 20% of accountable-executive-oriented (mostly referred to as presidential systems) fall within categories regarded as "high human development" and roughly 24 percent of the former and 57% of the latter countries are within the "medium human development" category.

From the Paper
"There are governments as well, which may have plurality in terms of decision-making but it is dispersed among a few like-minded individuals advancing a common cause and not allowing for existence of competing groups or parties. This characterizes the third type of governmental system which still greatly persists in the present era--the ruling-party oriented type (Type 3). Theocratic governments are sub-classified under this since theocratic governments whether multi-party or not, allow a rather very little room for ideological dissent and since their main goals are to conservatively advance a particular religion and way of life and sometimes at the expense of political rights and civil liberties."

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the topic of problem-oriented policing. Specifically, it discusses two articles from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community-Oriented Policing Services (COPS) website and describe the approaches these articles use to address crime problems. The articles are entitled "Gangs" and "School Safety."
From the Paper
"School violence is much more than gang activity today, it can also come from outside the school in the form of vagrants, parents, and even strangers who are looking to kidnap or harm students, or even students themselves, who go on violent rampages and kill faculty and other students. While these activities are much harder to predict, there may be many indicators that are being overlooked in this area as well, and so, law enforcement agencies must educate parents, educators, and those who deal with students, from bus drivers to counselors and even school security guards, to be on the lookout for any unusual or potentially dangerous activities. If the same indicators can be identified for this type of violence, then there may someday be a way to target schools that might pose a higher threat for other type of safety issues, such as gun violence and child abduction, and this will ultimately lead to safer schools and safer students."
