by Sukhdev Khebbal, Chris Sharpington

Overview

Rapid Application Generation of Business and Finance Software describes a method for developing wide ranging computing applications with emerging software technologies. The pressure of the market place calls for reducing the time to market of new software applications. This book shows how to build such software faster and more reliably.
Using an elegant concept of extended tools, the book presents a method for the constructive building of ‘hybrid' applications. The book includes such application areas as direct marketing, banking insurance and executive information systems. The methods used adopt the latest object-oriented and client-server techniques.
Rapid Application Generation of Business and Finance Software is an important book for computer scientists working on rapid application development. It is also of interest to information systems specialists.

Editorial Reviews

Thirteen European contributors present the results of the HANSA project, a collaborative and international project dedicated to providing an object oriented framework for building software quickly using existing "hybrid" applications. These applications, explained in detail, mix and match industry standard tools, such as databases and spreadsheets, with novel Artificial Intelligence techniques like expert systems, neural networks, and genetic algorithms. The volume applies these techniques to direct marketing, banking, and executive information system situations. The appendix supplies a FTP site for HANSA framework and directions for retrieving its documents. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
