Object Oriented Analysis and Design

Object-oriented techniques are now firmly established as one of the major pathways of development in the design of information systems. From its origins as a topic of advanced study, the subject has rapidly migrated downwards through undergraduate and higher national programmes until it has become an integral component of all such courses at an intermediate level. The book aims to cover the spectrum of analysis and design. It is practical in its approach and builds upon the basic ideas which the student will have met in the introductory semesters of the course. It provides a comprehensive view of the techniques of OO design and avoids being tied to one particlar method. Extensive use of a case study and examples and exercises provide the reader with opportunities to put the techniques into practice.
