Hardcover. Book Description Real-Time Object Uniform Design Methodology with UML is a theoretical and practicalbookwrittenforbusy people who want to untanglethe complex world of system development, nd essential materials without digging in UML st- dard documentation, grasp subtle concepts of object orientation, practice the new Model Driven Architecture (MDA), experience the reuse mechanism, and transform the bare metal programming of real-time and embedded products into more handsome platform-independent and platform-speci c components. With this rapid methodology of development, practitioners can spare time, avoid tons of written documentation by relieving this tedious task to smart CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tools, and have a quick and s- thetic view of any system through a well-built set of pictures and blueprints. The methodology presented in this book is a neutral methodology based on a thorough study of fundamental modeling concepts and then a temporary mapping of these concepts on current available standards and tools. We say temporary because research is in fact a never-ending activity. Good st- dards are evolving standards and the truth is always questionable. We are not pretending to add a new methodology to the numerous existent or in-house methodologies. We hope that the reader is able to catch the thoughts presented in this book to have a more critical view on any future methodology (a kind of meta methodology). So, feel free to prune o? parts that you do not feel comfortable with. A textbook for teaching object modeling, fundamental concepts learning and system designing with thirteen UML diagrams. It contains a whole section devoted to advanced research topics, samples and case studies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Riassunto

This multi-function volume starts off as an ideal basic textbook for teaching object modeling, fundamental concepts learning and system designing with thirteen UML diagrams. But it also contains a whole section devoted to advanced research topics, samples and case studies. It is an essential work for any system developer or graduate student in a discipline that requires the power of object modeling as part of a development methodology.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The competitiveness of organizations facing globalization, information and communication technologies relies on strategic issues such as reuse of knowledge from past experiences to make higher quality decisions, deployment of innovative, fast methodological approaches for solving problems and building systems. Real-life systems are often multidisciplinary; their development commands a uniform way of object modeling in order to close the loop of various interactions crossing multiple domains.

An innovative methodology, built on UML version 2 and MDA (Model Driven Architecture), is proposed to explain how to design large-scale systems and make software reuse a reality, how logical models can be built progressively and transformed into business assets, how real time and database systems can be integrated smoothly along a single development stream. First, the metalanguage of UML is introduced as a lesson of rigorous and meta system development. That helps developers to acquire a deep understanding of meta elements of UML, rules that govern connections. Second, thirteen UML diagrams are studied in details with short examples. Third, fundamental modeling concepts are mapped into UML objects and represented with diagrams that are the visual parts of any CASE tool.

Two advanced research topics beyond UML are exposed to complement the arsenal of development tools. A state-event network (SEN), a new diagram based on Petri net, supports dynamical studies and refines UML behavioral diagrams before implementation. The "image attribute method" is a combinatorial technique deployed to study dynamic behavior of safety-critical systems; it takes internal state variables of an object, makes images of surrounding objects interacting with this central object to explain its complex behavior and thus, automate the design of algorithms.

One part of Real-Time Object Uniform Design Methodology with UML is targeted to be used as a basic textbook in Computer Science for teaching object modeling, fundamental concepts learning and system designing with thirteen UML diagrams. Another part is devoted to advanced research topics, samples and case studies. They are must readings for any system developer or any graduate student in any discipline that needs materials and thoughts for future developments, the power of object modeling packed along a serious development methodology.
