Objectica Extends Mathematica's Capabilities

By DE Editors

With the new application package Objectica from Wolfram Research (Champaign, IL), you can rapidly build your mathematical models using classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. With Objectica, the capabilities of Mathematica are combined with the power of object orientation.

In addition to its simple and easy-to-learn syntax, Objectica has many consistency checks and automatisms that support your development, especially in a commercial environment. Objectica enables more productive development by allowing you to focus on your simulation; map real world objects directly to objects in your simulations; build your models from bottom to top; reuse code by means of a simple declaration; and create black-box models as building blocks of a simulation kit.

Other features include full-scale object orientation; simple and easy-to-learn syntax; perfect integration into Mathematica; familiar concepts such as classes, objects, constructors, destructors, fields, methods, and properties; automatic variable generation that allows switching to any solver after building the model; support of commercial class libraries; quick object access; consistency checks and thorough documentation.

Objectica uses a full-scale, easy-to-learn syntax to extend object orientation to Mathematica. In addition, its many consistency checks and automatisms help support development, particularly in a commercial environment.

Objectica requires Mathematica 6 and is supported by Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
