Richard Pawson of Naked Objects offers brief history of the framework and introduction to Naked Objects for .NET. Naked objects can be seen as Domain Driven Design taken to the extreme. With proper annotation, this framework can automatically generate a matching presentation layer in Java or .NET.
Of course not everyone agrees with this philosophy. As an editor for InfoQ and a developer in my own right, I have traditionally looked at frameworks like this with suspicion. But when you really need to get something in front of the users now, with no time for usability or aesthetics, then this type of technology does show promise.
