COOP-an object oriented framework for systems integration

Object-oriented technology is promising for the integration of heterogeneous tools and systems. This paper presents the COOP integration framework which takes a uniform object-oriented approach to control-integration, data-integration, and presentation integration. The basis for the COOP architecture is the use of COOM, the COOP object model, which is an object-oriented model extended with support for notification-events, attributes, relations and queries.<
