Abstract

The traditional computer-based message systems, messages are typically viewed as passive entities with no processing power. The users are thus responsible for explicitly creating, routing and processing each message instance. Messages, however, may be viewed as active objects which can do certain processing on their own. This paper explores the concept of “messages as objects” for office automation purposes.
