Review text

The book presents basically properties and connections of object-oriented methods. The treated aspects contain the basic view of objects in distributed surroundings, the concepts of class diagrams, sequence diagrams and status diagrams, the principles of the design with application cases, the use and meaning of invariants and aggregation in class diagrams, the context of messages and operation concept, the ensemble playing of sequence diagrams and status diagrams in the design and the use of generalization and inheritance relations. The book is concentrated on a selection of kernel concepts of the UML. This kernel language and the thus obliged methodology is named as MOS -- methodology to the object specification -- to the avoidance of misunderstandings. Going out an integrated frame is introduced by these description techniques for the analysis and the design of distributed information systems. Integration is a main concern and is tried at several levels. MOS defines the elements of the description techniques more precisely than the UML in some places. The basic view of objects and systems is discussed in this book. Another aspect of the integration is a methodical procedure which is determined by the specification of application cases. These in this book formulated principles and methodical rules are orientated more and more at the description techniques. A far-reaching integration is striven for methodology and description technique with that. A broader integration aspect is the junction of pragmatic, graphic-oriented methods with formal approaches. The attempts of the UML the use of predicative description elements are picked up here. Concepts and techniques of the object-oriented design with the UML get united and formally soundly summarizing in this book in a homogeneous approach. Is therefore an essential advantage of this book to look the UML in the short, precise representation of the most important elements.
