Features:
· 5 application systems (3 commercial systems and 2 real-time systems) — illustrate how to apply strategies and patterns to build more effective object models, with results represented using Coad notation, OMT notation, and Unified notation;
· Up to 177 strategies — provide specific operational steps for building object models;
· 31 patterns — ready-to-use object model templates, with objects having typical responsibilities and interaction relationships;
· Over 350 illustrations — rich and intuitive diagrams and examples that you can use to create your own object models;
· Shared components on disk — use this shared component (free of charge) while reading this book to gain real-world, hands-on learning experience. This shared component is Playground, an object model "whiteboard" designed for domain experts and object model developers. The book introduces how to apply strategies and patterns to build effective object models through five different, representative, and common application examples. Readers may develop their own effective object models by analyzing the cases and applying these strategies and patterns. The book also introduces Coad notation for object model development, which unifies multiple levels and aspects of models from conceptual models to program code, offering a practical graphical notation method. This book is suitable for beginners in object model development as well as advanced developers for reference. For project managers, analysts, and designers, it will also be highly beneficial.
