Abstract Office Automation (OA) is an approach to the new way of handling information in an office and as such there is no universally accepted definition for it. We have defined it as the body of knowledge that is concerned with the analysis, design, implementation, efficiency and application of processes that transform information in an office. The trend toward full office automation has been the result of dramatic fall in the cost of computer hardware and technological advances in the field of communications. The result has been to make interconnected computer systems and computer networks a viable and cost effective solution to many problems in the offices.The purpose of this paper is to address some of the important issues surrounding the construction of office systems and to describe the design principles of a formal specification methodology for office systems. In particular, we discuss the desired properties of a computational model upon which a specification methodology for office systems should be based. An overview of ABSL, an object-oriented specification methodology that we are currently developing is presented and the main ideas in this methodology are described.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
