Object-oriented Analysis and Design

This guide covers the underlying philosophy of object orientation and demonstrates its practical usage, exploring both the analysis and the design phases of applying object-oriented techniques. The authors use an innovative approach based not on reality, but rather the way reality is understood by people (not computers). Topics covered include project management of object-oriented programs, making the transition from 00 analysis to 00 design, 00 databases and AI tools. 7 x 9 1/4.

This guide covers the underlying philosophy of object orientation and demonstrates its practical usage. It explores both the analysis and the design phases os applying object-oriented techniques. Working from a solid foundation for specification and implementation, the handbook suggests an innovative approach which does not model reality - rather one that models the way reality is understood by people (not computers). By expanding system knowledge beyond a DP-restricted perspective, Martin and Odell extend OO analysis to support many other disciplines. The guide will be especially beneficial for DP methodologists, system analysts, data and process modelers, data and process administrators, and project managers and group leaders.
