Author notes provided by Syndetics

James Martin brings to his books and seminars a lifetime of achievement throughout the world, and the proven ability to explain complex subjects in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.
Martin's predictions about the future of technology have been consistently accurate. In 1960, he predicted the growth of teleprocessing, online storage, and real-time systems. His foresight included the markets in micro-computers, communications satellites, optical fibers, value-added carriers, and leisure computing. He also predicted the growth of application development tools and originated the terms "fourth-generation languages" and "I-CASE."
James Martin is regarded as "the father of CASE." He originated the information engineering and rapid application development methodologies. Today, Martin is concentrating on object-oriented design and enterprise re-engineering. The computer industry's foremost educator and information systems communicator, he has influenced millions of information systems professionals through his lectures, books, and videotapes.
James Martin's numerous best-selling books include one Pulitzer Prize nomination and are regarded as the best sources of information on database, telecommunications, teleprocessing, interactive systems, the impact of computers on commerce and society, and software development tools and methodologies. Major works include a trilogy on information engineering and books on rapid application development and object-oriented analysis and design.
James Martin holds an M.A. in Physics from Oxford University and a D.Sc. (Honorary) from Salford University for his work on information engineering. The ACPA made him a lifetime fellow for his contributions to data processing education.
Martin worked for IBM for 19 years. He has founded several companies, including James Martin and Co., a worldwide consulting group, and KnowledgeWare, a leading CASE vendor. He was co-founder and chairman of Graph-net, the first tariffed value-added carrier; DMW, a telecommunications group; Bimillenium, a company making scientific software; and James Martin Insight, the leading information systems multi-media educational products company. Mr. Martin has acted as consultant and high-level advisor to government and industry.
