New Perspectives on Information Systems Development


Book Description

This book is a result of the Tenth International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD2001) held at Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom, during September 5-7, 2001. ISD 2001 carries on the fine tradition established by the first Polish-Scandinavian Seminar on Current Trends in Information Systems Development Methodologies, held in Gdansk, Poland in 1988. Through the years, this seminar evolved into an International Conference on Information Systems Development. The Conference gives participants an opportunity to express ideas on the current state of the art in information systems development, and to discuss and exchange views on new methods, tools, applications as well as theory. In all, 55 papers were presented at ISD2001 organised into twelve tracks covering the following themes: Systems Analysis and Development, Modelling, Methodology, Database Systems, Collaborative Systems, Theory, Knowledge Management, Project Management, IS Education, Management issues, E-Commerce. and Technical Issues. We would like to thank all the contributing authors for making this book possible and for their participation in ISD200 1. We are grateful to our panel of paper reviewers for their help and support. We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Ceri Bowyer and Steve Brown for their unfailing support with organising ISD2001.




Service- and Component-based Development Using Select Perspective and UML


Book Description

Annotation The instruction put forth in this new book is all related to successfully using Select Perspective, a process conceived and marketed by Select Business solutions, a division of Aonix. Select Perspective is a pragmatic, component-based software development process that can be implemented by all roles in software development, and includes the business people that specify, accept, verify and use software solutions. Every individual who is involved in the specification, acceptance, construction, testing, delivery or budgetary control of software solutions will benefit from this book. The authors have helped organizations realize the benefit of component-based development with Select Perspective, and this book shows how it can be done, taking into account varying team sizes, uneven skill levels, and different industries. The book uses the UML for expression of designs, and will allow the reader to meet the demands of web services.




Distributed Object Architectures with CORBA


Book Description

Distributed Object Architectures with CORBA is a guide to designing software comprised of distributed components. While it is based on OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard, the principles also apply to architecture built with other technology (such as Microsoft's DCOM). As ORB products evolve to incorporate new additions to CORBA, the knowledge and experience required to build stable and scalable systems is not widespread. With this volume the reader can develop the skills and knowledge that are necessary for building such systems. The book assumes a familiarity with object-oriented concepts and the basics of CORBA. Software developers who are new to building systems with CORBA-based technologies will find this a useful guide to effective development.

Beginning C# 2008 Objects


Book Description

Updated with the changes to C#, Beginning C# 2008 Objects: From Concepts to Code introduces complete beginners to C# coding practice with a solid methodological foundation written by two critically–acclaimed experts in the field, already authors of the best–selling Beginning C# Objects. By building from first principles in object–oriented terminology, then advancing through application design with Unified Modeling Language (UML) into practical examples, Beginning C# 2008 Objects: From Concepts to Code provides a foundational guide written from the perspective of two experienced, working authorities on C#. Working coders will benefit from the object–oriented cast of the book and its section on use–case modeling. This is the book to read if you want to deepen and advance your existing professional development in C# with an eye towards advancing out of pure coding work. For the reader wishing to “simply learn C#”, this book will provide exactly that. In addition to listing code and syntax, Beginning C# 2008 Objects: From Concepts to Code also walks you through the design and architecting of a functioning C# application, showing the “why” and the “how” of the development decisions that go into professional C# coding.




More Process Patterns


Book Description

With his new book, More Process Patterns, Scott Ambler picks up where Process Patterns left off. In this book, the author presents process patterns for the second half of the development lifecycle. He covers the Deliver phase and the Maintain and Support phase of large-scale, object-oriented system development. Each presented pattern is based upon proven, real-world techniques and is geared toward medium to large-size organizations who need to develop software internally to support their main line of business. The book covers major management issues, such as people and risk management, and quality assurance. Developers and project managers who have just taken their first OO development course will find this book essential. It takes the true needs of software development and delivery into consideration, including cross-project, maintenance, operations, and support issues. This book uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
