The Audience

The book will primarily address an academic audience, or IT professionals with an academic interest. Nevertheless, since I am getting more and more involved in joint research with business partners and the development of extra-academic curricula, I intend to include examples of more relevance to IT in business. In particular, I will include a section on the deployment of (object-oriented) simulation for business process redesign, and a section on the 3D visualisation of business data using object technology. More than in the first edition, I will strive for a small coherent set of examples.
