In this chapter, we introduce a highly expressive, self-contained reflective meta-model of object-process methodology (OPM). OPM enables universal system modeling based on the notions of processes that transform objects. Extending the object-oriented approach, which views processes as residents of objects, OPM provides for the existence of stand-alone processes that can represent transformations in complex systems such as businesses, aircrafts or organisms. A system modeling and development methodology, which is a combination of a language for expressing the universal (or domain) ontology and an approach for developing systems that uses this language, can be expressed in OPM using objects, processes and links among them. Through the reflective OPM meta-model, we demonstrate the expressive power of OPM and its applicability as a universal tool for architecting systems that involve structure and dynamics in a highly, intertwined manner.

Information technology continues to evolve. For example in education, long time ago, people learned using stones. Advances in science and technology bring the community continue to improve the quality of life including technology itself. Bengkel XYZ is a company that sales service to customer especially in motorcycle reparation. The company is still using a file-based system. System development methodology used in this research is the Unified Process methodology using Object-Oriented approach. This research will result in a system design and application of sales system that can be used by the company to run day-to-day business operations, especially for the sales business process. By the design of information systems and the application of the sales system will integrate all data using centralized database, so that data redundancy can be reduced and the cost-effectiveness can be achieved.

The paper offers a new programming paradigm, which implements CAD methods in programming, The level of encapsulation in model-oriented programming is higher than in the object-oriented approach. The key features of the MO-programming are declarative style (no imperative programs), and focusing on the distributed and high-performance calculations. The method proposed is based on the structural theory of multi-component complex systems, and is applicable for a rather wide class of tasks including the elaboration of simulation models of such systems.
