Liberating the Business Modeler

CosmoCows (CC) has developed a tool to model and host web-based administration and control-oriented applications quickly and easily.This tool consists of a framework, web browser based IDE, and a hosting environment to relieve the business modeler of technical concerns like database formats, rendering techniques, and transaction, session, and memory management. This tool is built with and is heavily influenced by Smalltalk (VisualWorks). This talk will be about the internals of this tool and about our experiences with using the tool for control&administration purposes at fire departments, health care institutions, and construction management.

Mathieu van Echtelt is business modeler and co-founder of CosmoCows.
