This book does not tell a story. Instead, it is about stories. Or rather, in technical terms, it is about scenarios. Scenarios of system behavior. It con centrates on reactive systems, be they software or hardware, or combined computer-embedded systems, including distributed and real-time systems. We propose a different way to program such systems, centered on inter object scenario-based behavior. The book describes a language, two tech niques, and a supporting tool. The language is a rather broad extension of live sequence charts (LSCs), the original version of which was proposed in 1998 by W. Damm and the first-listed author of this book. The first of the two techniques, called play-in, is a convenient way to 'play in' scenario based behavior directly from the system's graphical user interface (QUI). The second technique, play-out, makes it possible to execute, or 'play out', the behavior on the QUI as if it were programmed in a conventional intra object state-based fashion. All this is implemented in full in our tool, the Play-Engine. The book can be viewed as offering improvements in some ofthe phases of known system development life cycles, e.g., requirements capture and anal ysis, prototyping, and testing. However, there is a more radical way to view the book, namely, as proposing an alternative way to program reactivity, which, being based on inter-object scenarios, is a lot closer to how people think about systems and their behavior.

The great Lord, the Flautist, Krishna has come down to kiss us. We cover our cheeks with our hands. We do not want His kiss. We want something else - an I-phone, a larger house, promotion, pay hike -oh it's a long list. Lord Krishna gave Bhagavad Gita to us only to prepare us for His kiss. The kind Lord almost whispered Bhagavad Gita in your ears. Why? Only to remove your hands from your cheeks. So that He can kiss you with His beautiful lips. I beg of you dears, please, remove your hands. Once you taste His kiss everything else in the world will be insipid. And that kiss can even transform an ugly frog into a handsome prince. But once you taste that kiss you will never want to become a prince. You will rather be a frog living in filth, waiting for that kiss for all eternity The name Bhagavad Gita has been translated as "The Divine Song." Or "The Song Celestial." Or as “The Song of Love" Personally I will prefer to translate it as “Krishna's Kiss." Can you think of something better? "This is not a religious book; but a book that will usher in a new religion, a religion of love." - Lalitha Shivaguru, Reviewer
