Objects and object classesObjects and object classes
An object is an entity that has a state and a defined set of
operations which operate on that state. The state is represented as
a set of object attributes. The operations associated with the object
provide services to other objects (clients) which request these
services when some computation is required.
Objects are created according to some object class definition. An
object class definition serves as a template for objects. It includes
declarations of all the attributes and services which should be
associated with an object of that class.

Weather system descriptionWeather system description
A weather mapping system is required to generate weather maps on a
regular basis using data collected from remote, unattended weather stations
and other data sources such as weather observers, balloons and satellites.
Weather stations transmit their data to the area computer in response to a
request from that machine.
The area computer system validates the collected data and integrates it with
the data from different sources. The integrated data is archived and, using
data from this archive and a digitised map database a set of local weather
maps is created. Maps may be printed for distribution on a special-purpose
map printer or may be displayed in a number of different formats.

Weather station descriptionWeather station description
A weather station is a package of software controlled instruments
which collects data, performs some data processing and transmits
this data for further processing. The instruments include air and
ground thermometers, an anemometer, a wind vane, a barometer
and a rain gauge. Data is collected periodically.
When a command is issued to transmit the weather data, the
weather station processes and summarises the collected data. The
summarised data is transmitted to the mapping computer when a
request is received.
