Or rather, in technical terms, it is about scenarios. Scenarios of system behavior. It con­ centrates on reactive systems, be they software or hardware, or combined computer-embedded systems, including distributed and real-time systems. We propose a different way to program such systems, centered on inter­ object scenario-based behavior. The book describes a language, two tech­ niques, and a supporting tool. The language is a rather broad extension of live sequence charts (LSCs), the original version of which was proposed in 1998 by W. Damm and the first-listed author of this book. The first of the two techniques, called play-in, is a convenient way to 'play in' scenario­ based behavior directly from the system's graphical user interface (QUI). The second technique, play-out, makes it possible to execute, or 'play out', the behavior on the QUI as if it were programmed in a conventional intra­ object state-based fashion. All this is implemented in full in our tool, the Play-Engine. The book can be viewed as offering improvements in some ofthe phases of known system development life cycles, e.g., requirements capture and anal­ ysis, prototyping, and testing. However, there is a more radical way to view the book, namely, as proposing an alternative way to program reactivity, which, being based on inter-object scenarios, is a lot closer to how people think about systems and their behavior.","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53366902686038,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9783540007876_1_4a0d1651-671a-4b5c-bc50-78ac0790d666.jpg?v=1784228800","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/david-harel-come-let-s-play-9783540007876","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
