	The Extended BON Tool Suite
		BON is unique in that every construct specified in BON is checkable and reversible.
		BON is useful for much more than "business" objects --- don't let the name fool you.
		Extended BON is described in Extended BON.txt and primarily consists of the addition of higher-level specification constructs and operators from the KindSoftware code standard[Kiniry01] to BON.

	JOT: Journal of Object Technology - Notes on a Practical Guide and Thoughts on Software Development
		BON (Business Object Notation) is the development approach based on the strengths of Eiffel and Design by Contract.
		It is not the topic of this paper to describe BON in detail and I would refer the reader to the book by Kim Waldén and Jean-Marc Nerson (17).
		Business users are forced to adopt software description languages such as UML or help transform their story directly into code, while software developers are faced with the often impossible (and unnecessary task of becoming domain experts themselves).

	The BON analysis and design method
		BON, the Business Object Notation, is a method and graphical notation for high-level object-oriented analysis and design.
		BON is based on concepts similar to those of Eiffel but can be used independently of Eiffel, for example by people using another O-O language for implementation.
		Seamlessness is the principle of using a consistent set of concepts and notations throughout the lifecycle, avoiding the impedance mismatches of traditional approaches.

		Precise and Formal Metamodeling with the Business Object Notation and PVS
		A modeling language consists of both a notation and a metamodel, the latter of which captures the syntactic well-formedness constraints that all valid models must obey.
		We also contrast the BON metamodel with the metamodel of the Unified Modelling Language (UML), both in terms of the precise metamodel presented in the UML Semantics Reference, and a formalization of the metamodel presented in the Alloy specification language.

		Distributed, open computing became both possible and important and object technology was the basis of much development, especially with the appearance of n-tier client-server systems and the web, although relational databases played and continue to play an important rôle.
		BON improves rigour using the Eiffel idea of class invariants while Syntropy does this and further emphasizes state machines.
		Thus were issues of notation largely settled by the end of the 1990s, which has shifted the emphasis to innovation in the field of method and process.

		The Object Systems Group is a research group at the Centre Universitaire d'Informatique of the University of Geneva under the direction of Prof.
		Safeguards are provided, both in the semantics of operations on stateful objects and in the type system, to minimise the problems associated with introducing state.
		Object technology is the critical enabler for this discipline because it permits the fundamental elements of a business design, such as customers and products, to be represented directly in the form of executable business objects.

	BON Dynamic Diagrams in UML for SOA Description
		Business Object Notation, the analysis and design method from the Eiffel community, has its own graphic language.
		The BON Dynamic Diagrams can be easily represented in a UML diagram or with any simple Visio-like tool and provide a succinct way to document system interactions that appeals to both visual and verbal thinkers.
		BON is another interesting OO design method that has fallen by the wayside (roadkill by the nearest UML 18-Wheeler).

		Counters with the Business Object Notation whose graphical symbols fit on one page (compared to UML whose "Notation Summary" takes up 60 pages) and covers all the basic O-O system description techniques.
		The Object Constraint Language of UML differs from what most software developers expect in terms of the syntax of predicate logic as to make it a whole other language to learn.

		Characteristics of Enterprise Distributed Object Analysis and Design When large-scale distributed enterprise systems are modeled in object-oriented fashion, the resultant object models tend to have the following noteworthy characteristics: The object types defined represent artifacts of the entities, processes, and events that occur in the enterprise business environment.
		The complexity of the object models makes it difficult for humans to work with them when only a graphical notation is available for expressing the models.
		The associations among the myriad object types are numerous and the semantics of these associations are particularly crucial to ensuring the ability of different components to interoperate.

		Abstraction is facilitated by the easy transition between levels of detail in the BON models, and also by the rich semantic content lent to the class interface description by the software contract.
		The use scenarios are accompanied by object scenarios, showing the interplay of objects to accomplish the use scenario.
		A novel graphical notation is used, which allows easy depiction of interactions between many more objects than the conventional ladder or lattice-like interaction diagrams often used elsewhere.

	JSON for the masses
		Albeit the confusion between objects and global variables, the distinction between the two should be that variables will now sit within the objects to which they pertain to.
		No, Object templates aren’t real things and they surely aren’t part of the D.O.M., but it is more or less of a way of creating a generic Object set up that will hold my page architecture.
		I also encourage changing the title of the article to “object notation for the masses”, and (ideally) remove the confusing JSON references, or note that you use the name tag very liberally for what the words mean, not what the standard that also picked up those words for a name means.

	Eiffel Software - FAQ on EiffelStudio
		Built in functionalities such as Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool for the Business Object Notation (BON) method allow you to see and interact with the design of your system during development, and there is no need for reverse engineering as everything is done concurrently.
		BON is the acronym for Business Object Notation, an analysis and design method that is based on concepts close to those of Eiffel (seamlessness, reversibility, contracting) and defines simple, intuitive graphical conventions.
		BON is particularly notable for its ability to scale up when you need to describe large and complex systems, keeping a view of the whole while zooming into the details of components at various levels of abstraction.

	UML: The Positive Spin
		Our flagship EiffelCase (now integrated into EiffelStudio) analysis and design workbench offers, starting with version 4.3, the option of a UML look-and-feel, as an alternative to its traditional BON (Business Object Notation) look-and-feel, which will of course continue to be supported.
		Instead, O-O design concentrates on the types of objects manipulated by the system, and defines each one of these types through the list of all applicable operations and their abstract properties -- contracts -- regardless of order of application.
		It is hard to imagine what benefit a business could get from pages of cryptic diagrams about hazy properties of a poorly understood system.

		A standard Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) will provide businesses with the capability of understanding their internal business procedures in a graphical notation and will give organizations the ability to communicate these procedures in a standard manner.
		Furthermore, the graphical notation will facilitate the understanding of the performance collaborations and business transactions between the organizations.
		This will ensure that businesses will understand themselves and participants in their business and will enable organizations to adjust to new internal and B2B business circumstances quickly.

		The focus of the CIO is therefore turning away from the details of technology, such as server availability, network performance, and application functionality, towards more strategic issues, such as IT budgeting and investment planning, governance, service quality and availability, IT risk management, and offshore development.
		However, in contrast with other business functions, there has been a distinct lack of both tools and methodologies to assist in adopting this strategic view.
		The dichotomy for CIOs is therefore that whilst they are keen to move their IT departments up the organisational value chain, and to increase their own contribution to the business, there is still a distinct and substantial separation between the business, financial, and technology views of the IT department.

	Why your next project should use Eiffel
		Eiffel and the associated Business Object Notation approach to analysis and design accommodate them naturally, by providing a single conceptual framework from the beginning to the end of the process.
		And users of any of the popular O-O analysis notations know that at some stage they must stop working on their model and move on to the implementation in some programming language.
		This was confirmed when Rainbow's financial backers brought in object professionals to audit the project.

		Many practitioners mislead themselves into believing they are using a methodology, when all they are using is its notation.
		On the other hand, a notation is an important component of a methodology and cannot be selected arbitrarily, as we and others have pointed out - it needs to be designed for optimal useability.
