Object oriented analysis & design

Object-oriented analysis and design has emerged as the leading approach for developing computer-based systems since the 1990s. In this second edition, the authors present an integrated and versatile method that combines tried-and-true practices with new perspectives, offering a coherent view of analysis and design. The approach is firmly rooted in fundamental principles and emphasizes a holistic understanding of system development. The book systematically unfolds the core components of system creation, focusing on the problem domain, the scope of the system, its architecture, and the interactions between its parts. By clearly distinguishing between the design of the logical core and that of the user interface, it demonstrates how technical and practical considerations can be effectively balanced. The use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a standard notation ensures that the methodology is both accessible and relevant to contemporary development tools. Aimed at both system developers looking to harness object-oriented techniques and students pursuing computer science and related fields, this edition provides a detailed yet practical roadmap for analysis and design. It offers both comprehensive theoretical insights and actionable guidelines, making it an ideal resource for those embarking on system development projects or seeking to deepen their understanding of established design practices.
