HOOD, Hierarchical Object Oriented Design, is emerging as the main European object-oriented design methodology. The European Space Agency developed HOOD, and toolkits have been produced by several major software companies. This reference on HOOD covers the following areas: HOOD method; finding objects and operations; HOOD diagrams; object description skeleton; class and instance objects; real time design; and distributed software design. There is a strong emphasis on the engineering aspects of developing software in a multi-team environment. Most chapters are illustrated by examples and the book should find a wide readership amongst professional software engineers.
