Abstract
This paper presents our own approach to modeling, visualization and simulation of biology-related processes. It presents the own BORM (Business and Object Relation Modeling) approach, which is an application of the object-oriented paradigm and finite-state machines. The first part of this paper discusses the motivation for the new approach and explains its theoretical foundation. The second part presents our practical experience with BORM as the method enabling necessary capture of requirement and verification activities for the analysis and design of information systems. The real example of the largest Prague Hospital is used. The BORM method has been used in the last 17 years on various projects in the Czech Republic and Central-European region.
