Working with Objects

The object-oriented methodology OOram has been in use and development in Norway since 1983. This is an account of the OOram methodology for software analysis, design, development, maintenance and reuse. It shows how to: apply role modelling and benefit from its inherent advantages over class modelling; describe large systems through a number of distinct models; derive composite models from simpler base models; manage very large systems in a decentralized manner; and incorporate powerful reuse techniques into an ongoing policy which impacts work processes and organization.
