A dream of many years has come to fruition. For many years, growing up, I was encouraged to be a writer by my mother. She told me to experience life and one day I will have the heart to write a great book. I began sailing the Chesapeake Bay in my sixteen foot Hobie cat when I was a preteen. As I gained experience, I grew braver and ventured across the bay and into some of the major rivers that flowed into it.

This book presents the concepts and terminology of cognitive patterns and cognitive modeling. It thoroughly explains the uniqueness of cognitive patterns as an approach in modeling business systems and processes.

The use of KADS Object in concert with any OO methodology leads to the creation of robust, understandable, and testable OO models and systems. The book is organized into three major sections. The first section introduces the conce

Seeing a cat rubbing against a person, Charles Darwin described her as i??in an affectionate frame of mindi??’; for Samuel Barnett, a behavioralist, the mental realm is beyond the grasp of scientists and behavior must be described technically, as a physical action only. What difference does this difference make? In Eileen Crist’s analysis of the language used to portray animal behavior, the difference i??is that in the reader’s mind the very image of the cat’s ’body’ is transfigured from an experiencing subject into a vacant objecti??’. i??Images of An
