This book walks developers through every step of the object-oriented development process, showing how to tailor and document the development process that is ideal for their organizations.This book shows how to tailor your own object-oriented development process -- a process that delivers software more effectively and virtually documents itself. It presents new techniques for requirements gathering, performing initial object-oriented analysis, transitioning to object-oriented design from procedural environments, implementing a design, and validating the results. It includes comprehensive templates and examples for each phase of the lifecycle. It also presents a detailed case study of a complete project, with example workbook and work products.All object-oriented developers, regardless of the languages and environments they utilize.

Abstract: "BOS is a prototype-based, object-oriented toolkit aimed at better supporting evolutionary software development. BOS attempts to support a spectrum of activities in one environment -- ranging from rapid prototyping to code hardening. Features enabling rapid prototyping include a prototype-based object model, an interpreted language, run-time argument constraints, position and keyword arguments, and a user interface toolkit. BOS also provides features for code hardening such as multi- methods, multiple inheritance, external code wrapping mechanisms, and interfaces to other packages such as database management systems. BOS thus enables the end-to-end programming of software in an integrated and unified environment. BOS has been used to develop several full-size applications which have been evaluated and delivered externally."

Object-oriented techniques and languages have been proven to significantly increase engineering efficiency in software development. Many benefits are expected from their introduction into electronic modeling. Among them are better support for model reusability and flexibility, more efficient system modeling, and more possibilities in design space exploration and prototyping. Object-Oriented Modeling explores the latest techniques in object-oriented methods, formalisms and hardware description language extensions. The seven chapters comprising this book provide an overview of the latest object-oriented techniques for designing systems and hardware. Many examples are given in C++, VHDL and real-time programming languages. Object-Oriented Modeling describes further the use of object-oriented techniques in applications such as embedded systems, telecommunications and real-time systems, using the very latest techniques in object-oriented modeling. It is an essential guide to researchers, practitioners and students involved in software, hardware and system design.

Design is a fundamental creative human activity. This certainly applies to the design of artefacts, the realisation of which has to meet many constraints and ever raising criteria. The world in which we live today, is enormously influenced by the human race. Over the last century, these artefacts have dramatically changed the living conditions of humans. The present wealth in very large parts of the world, depends on it. All the ideas for better and new artefacts brought forward by humans have gone through the minds of designers, who have turned them into feasible concepts and subsequently transformed them into realistic product models. The designers have been, still are, and will remain the leading 'change agents' in the physical world. Manufacturability of artefacts has always played a significant role in design. In pre industrial manufacturing, the blacksmith held the many design and realisation aspects of a product in one hand. The synthesis of the design and manufacturing aspects took, almost implicitly, place in the head of the man. All the knowledge and the skills were stored in one person. Education and training took place along the line of many years of apprenticeship. When the production volumes increased, -'assembling to measure' was no longer tolerated and production efficiency became essential - design, process planning, production planning and fabrication became separated concerns. The designers created their own world, separated from the production world. They argued that restrictions in the freedom of designing would badly influence their creativity in design.

This book contains a selection of revised versions of papers presented at the Third Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent CAD Systems, which was held at Hotel Opduin on the island of Texel in The Netherlands, April 3-7, 1989. The workshop theme was Practical Experience and Evaluation. It included five paper presentation sessions, each followed by a discussion. The workshop closed with a general discussion. The book is therefore divided into five parts: design process, system architecture, languages, geometric reasoning, and user interface. A report on the discussion session, written by the session's moderator, concludes each part. These reports are not intended to be exact records of the discussion, but rather the moderators' summary of their contents. The aim of the workshop was to share the experience the participants gained by developing intelligent CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems, and to evaluate the developed systems to determine which features were still lacking. The workshop was organized as the last one in a series of three workshops under the same title. The first workshop focused on theoretical and methodological aspects, resulting in a sound theoretical basis for intelligent CAD systems. Implementational issues were discussed at the second workshop, paying attention to systems developed with reference to this basis. The experience and evaluation showed a dual outcome. Firstly, it resulted in the development of a new generation of intelligent CAD systems. Secondly, it led us to the development of new theories for intelligent CAD.

This dissertation introduces a formal model for requirements analysis and evolution and a decision support mechanism based on that model. Both the model and the decision support mechanism provide automated support for the early part of the prototyping process. The model is used to capture user reactions to the demonstrated behavior of a prototype and map these reactions into the model objects to be used in synthesizing a set of open issues to be resolved. The issues are resolved by examining and modifying requirements if necessary, and then propagating the change consequences down into the affected parts of system specification and implementations in a consistent and controlled manner. This process is performed through a set of analysis and design activities controlled by the manager and aided by the decision support mechanism based on the formal model. This approach also provides support for maintaining design history and its rationale that can be used for implementing new needs or performing comparative studies to choose among alternatives. A formalism is also developed that supports customers in choosing among available alternatives to requirements that satisfy their goals and meet other constraints. A database is an important component of any decision support mechanism. This work also provides a conceptual design of an engineering database capable of representing and managing the process knowledge. This knowledge includes all information related to a software prototype design. The management of this information includes storing, retrieving, viewing, and controlling the design knowledge. The design of this engineering database is based on the object oriented paradigm. This paradigm provides the representation power to easily map our model objects and their relationships efficiently and naturally.
