and foundation of that concept has permeated academia.
As usual my comment comes a month too late. Oh well...
In 2003 one of the most respected names in our industry - Martin
Fowler - wrote a book with the dramatic title "Patterns of Enterprise
Application Architecture". When I read it, I was shocked. What Martin
describes as a bleeding edge was not more then EOF1 that was first
release around 1993 or 1994 (if I am not mistaken). When I asked him
if he never ever heard of WO, he was honest enough to tell me that he
knew the name but never had time to look at it.
end of story...
