Hence, my title: ???Literate Programming??™.???
The second approach was introduced by Edsger Dijkstra in his 1988 article ???On the Cruelty
of Really Teaching Computer Science,??? in which he claims that programming is merely a branch
of mathematics.3 He writes: ???Hence, computing science is??”and will always be??”concerned with
interplay between mechanized and human symbol manipulation, usually referred to as ???computing??™
and ???programming??™ respectively.???
This debate further informs the discussion about the modeling paradigm. Should serviceoriented
modeling be founded on a specific programming platform structure that only developers
and modelers can utilize? Or should modeling disciplines offer universal and easy to understand
notations that are independent of language? Should a service-oriented modeling approach be tied
to fashionable technologies? Or should a modeling language offer tools to design and architect
multiple generations of legacy platforms, applications, and middleware?
The service-oriented anthropomorphic modeling approach provides easy mechanisms to
address analysis, design, and architectural challenges and perceives software assets as having
human characteristics. In the virtual world that we are commissioned to create, services
???interact,??? ???behave,??? ???exchange information,??? and ???collaborate;??? they are ???retired,??? ???promoted,???
???demoted,??? and ???orchestrated.
