Object-oriented Methods for Software Development

Part 1 Object-oriented paradigm: object-oriented evolution; object-oriented concept; object-oriented standards; object-oriented database; object-oriented database management; reusability and portability strategy. Part 2 object-oriented software architecture: object-oriented system engineering; object-oriented software lifecycle; object-oriented software requirements analysis methods; object-oriented design methods and CASE tools. Part 3 Object-oriented implementation: Ada overview. Appendices: acronyms; list of vendors. Managing object-oriented projects ef fectively should become easier with this guide aimed at software developers and engineers using advanced level languages such as C++ and Smalltalk. Coverage of design techniques at each stage of the software development cycle aims to help readers to improve the reusability percentage of code - the fundamental wisdom behind object-oriented programming. Examples and case studies are given throughout.
