Uml
Distilled
Applying the
Standard Object Modeling Language
by Martin Fowler, et al
- Book Description
Today, a software designer or architect who seeks to
represent the design of a software system can choose from
a wide variety of notational languages, each aligned with
a particular analysis and design methodology. Ironically,
this wide variety of choice is one impediment to the
significant benefits promised by software reuse. The
emergence of the Unified Modeling Language (UML)-created
by the joint efforts of leading object technologists
Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and James Rumbaugh with
contributions from many others in the object
community-represents one of the most significant
developments in object technology. Supported by a broad
base of industry-leading companies, the UML merges the
best of the notations used by the three most popular
analysis and design methodologies, Booch, OOSE
(use-cases), and OMT, to produce a single, universal
modeling language that can be used with any method. Written
for those already grounded in object-oriented analysis
and design, this concise overview introduces you to UML,
highlighting the key elements of its notation, semantics,
and processes. Included is a brief explanation of UML's
history, development, and rationale, as well as
discussions on how UML can be integrated into the
object-oriented development process. In addition, the
book profiles various modeling techniques associated with
UML-use cases, CRC cards, design by contract, dynamic
classification, interfaces, and abstract classes-along
with concise descriptions of notation and semantics and
numerous insightful tips for effective use based on the
authors experience. In addition, the authors offer the
first look at the emerging Objectory Software Development
Process derived from the methodologies of Grady Booch,
Ivar Jacobson, and James Rumbaugh. To give you a feel for
the UML in action, the book includes a Java programming
example that outlines the implementation of a UML-based
design.
You will come away with an excellent understanding of
UML essentials, insight into how UML functions within the
software development process, and a firm foundation upon
which to expand and build your knowledge of the Unified
Modeling Language.
