Advanced Concepts Center announces multimedia object-oriented training.KING OF PRUSSIA King of Prussia, industrialized suburban area (1990 pop. 18,406), Montgomery co., SE Pa. It has glass and steel fabricating, food processing, printing and publishing, and varied manufacturing (textiles, liquified petroleum gas, water-treatment and electrical , Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 1995--The Advanced Concepts Center(TM) (ACC See adaptive cruise control. (TM)) has launched a groundbreaking multimedia training series, The Multimedia Training Advantage System(TM). "This new multimedia training has been developed to combine our wealth of object-oriented knowledge with emerging technological innovations; we are creating rich and engaging products that will help improve the practice and applications of object technology," said ACC general manager Ray Delaney. The ACC seeks to satisfy an ever-increasing need for training materials that combine state-of-the-art educational and information technology with the latest industry advancements and best practices from the Lockheed Martin For the former company, see . Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is a leading multinational aerospace manufacturer and advanced technology company formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation with Martin Marietta. Corporation. Drawing on its cutting-edge training material and real-world project experience, the ACC's products transform the presentation and delivery of object-oriented educational information. "By working with authors, customers, developers, and technology providers, we are introducing highly visual and engaging curricula," said Jo-An Skowronek, the ACC's director of course development. Jo-An works in partnership with ACC course developers and the ACC's training and consulting manager Paul Mims to identify new products and develop their content. The ACC's first multimedia programs provide a step-by-step introduction to the concepts and skills needed to apply object-oriented analysis and design Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a group of interacting objects. Each object represents some entity of interest in the system being modeled, and is characterised by its class, its state (data elements), and its to the development of large, complex systems using Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique (OMT (Object Modeling Technique) An object-oriented analysis and design method developed by James Rumbaugh. See Rational Rose. OMT - Object Modelling Technique ): Object-Oriented Analysis The examination of a problem by modeling it as a group of interacting objects. An object is defined by its class, data elements and behavior. For example; in an order processing system, an invoice is a class, and printing, viewing and totalling are examples of its behavior. (OOA See object-oriented analysis. OOA - object-oriented analysis ), Object-Oriented Design Transforming an object-oriented model into the specifications required to create the system. Moving from object-oriented analysis to object-oriented design is accomplished by expanding the model into more and more detail. (OOD See object-oriented design. OOD - object-oriented design ), and Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD (Object-Oriented Analysis & Design) See object-oriented analysis and object-oriented design. ). This innovative training program, in conjunction with instruction by the ACC's training specialists, presents lessons that enable the student to learn from a broad information base.

Founded in 1988, Aberdeen's research is used by over 2. , this multimedia training in the object technology arena is, "a very effective way for people to learn - both in cost per learner and transfer of knowledge. Adopting object technology can increase dramatically by organizations using the ACC's multimedia training." The ACC's multimedia training program will be extended and expanded over the next nine months. Future multimedia courses will include Executive Overview of Object-Oriented Methodology, Object-Oriented Program Management, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design using the Booch method, and Object-Oriented Distributed Systems. Future planned features of the ACC's multimedia courses include integrated video case studies and videos of guest speakers, audio commentary, question-and-answer sections, and a database of articles linked to program content.
