Object-oriented techniques and languages have been proven to  significantly increase engineering efficiency in software development.  Many benefits are expected from their introduction into electronic  modeling. Among them are better support for model reusability and  flexibility, more efficient system modeling, and more possibilities in  design space exploration and prototyping. Object-Oriented  Modeling explores the latest techniques in object-oriented methods,  formalisms and hardware description language extensions. 
  The seven chapters comprising this book provide an overview of the  latest object-oriented techniques for designing systems and hardware.  Many examples are given in C++, VHDL and real-time programming  languages. 
  Object-Oriented Modeling describes further the use of  object-oriented techniques in applications such as embedded systems,  telecommunications and real-time systems, using the very latest  techniques in object-oriented modeling. It is an essential guide to  researchers, practitioners and students involved in software, hardware  and system design.
