Recursion

For software developers using object-oriented languages and computer science professionals and students.

This book introduces recursive design, a new, language-independent approach to software design that offers the promise of dramatic productivity improvements. In recursive software design, a software routine or procedure may call itself while running. Shlaer and Mellor show how this ostensibly simple idea can help developers build systems with a high degree of design regularity, and offers important opportunities for automating implementation and improving software component reuse.
