Speaking of structures and behavior, I used to study both. Historically I started with behavior, and discovered that the picture is not complete without the other part -- the structure. By "behavior" I didn't mean these naive OOP thingies -- I'm referring to the theory of Petry Nets. Needless to mention, that the Petri Nets never enjoy even a fraction of database success, and Petri Nets researchers are still dreaming about "the calculus of parallel processes" that would someday revolutionize their field...
So, yes, there is indeed such phenomenon as behavior. It is the mathematical theory of behavior what is missing. Received on Wed Jan 10 2007 - 21:24:56 CET
