In this talk, I present Object-Process Methodology, a holistic systems paradigm, which serves as a basis for modeling and architecting complex systems for industrial and systems engineers. The ontology of stateful objects and processes that transform them is explained both theoretically and as it is implemented in an industrial software environment that serves companies in Singapore, Israel, and elsewhere in the banking and embedded systems domains.
