Synopsis

This first edition book integrates data structures, library design, and software principles into one package. The authors begin with simple software engineering concepts, and repeatedly use them to develop applications throughout the text. The topics covered include fundamental design concepts and principles; object oriented analysis and design; and design for reuse. For computer programmers.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This Java data structures book provides a strong introduction to object-oriented programming. It features a comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals of algorithm analysis foralgorithm and data structure comparisons, along with basic software engineering principles for the object-oriented analysis and design of a large information system. It is the first data structures book to present an introduction to software design and development at an intermediate level.

Key Features

• Data structure library: Lists, stacks, queues, trees, balanced trees, graphs, and files are discussed in detail and implemented in Java.
• UML: Software analysis and modeling are presented using a subset of UML at a level accessible to second- or third-year students.
• Timing analysis: Timing is extensively studied and used throughout.
• Two case studies: Real examples illustrate the object-oriented development process for the analysis and design of a non-trivial system.
• Electronic materials: All of the code included in the text and an example of a well-designed data structure library with implementations of all the standard data structures is provided for downloading.
