Features: This book provides a detailed overview of object-oriented design concepts, concurrency and distributed system technologies, use cases, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation. It focuses on a rapidly growing field in software development—designing real-time and distributed applications based on concurrency techniques. Using UML notation, the book clearly demonstrates how object-oriented analysis and design methods address the unique challenges faced by such systems. In this book, you will find a comprehensive description of an analysis and design method particularly suitable for real-time and distributed systems, known as COMET. This object-oriented methodology employs a highly iterative software development lifecycle based on use case technology and UML, extending from requirements modeling to analysis and design, with a consistent emphasis on the design requirements of distributed and real-time systems. The book also includes numerous in-depth case studies and examples to illustrate how the COMET approach is applied to various application systems, including real-time, client/server, and distributed software design. Key topics include:
- The object-oriented engineering lifecycle
- Use case modeling, with special emphasis on embedded system requirements
- Static and dynamic analysis modeling
- Structured object and class design
- Determining state machines and state diagrams
- Software architecture design for concurrent systems
- Performance analysis of real-time system design with real-time scheduling
This book is an invaluable resource for all developers in this field. The information, techniques, systematic methodologies, and comprehensive guidelines presented, along with the demonstrated case studies, will greatly facilitate the creation of high-quality real-time distributed applications.
