SIMOD-an ODP-extended role-modeling methodology for distributed objects

The paper introduces an object oriented methodology for distributed objects, SIMOD-Systems Interoperability Methodology for Distributed Objects, based on the OOram role modeling methodology, extended with an architecture driven approach based on distributed objects and the ISO RM ODP viewpoints. OOram is an object oriented analysis and design methodology suited for the development of distributed object systems, such as systems based on OMG CORBA or COM/OLE, because of its focus on role modeling and separation of interface description and implementation.
