UML Components: A Simple Process for Specifying Component-based Software (Component Based Development Series)

UML Components: A Simple Process for Specifying Component-based Software (Component Based Development Series)

by John Daniels (Author), John Cheesman (Author)

Synopsis

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has gained acceptance as the de facto standard for modeling object software systems -- and, with this book, UML proves itself as an architectural description language, as well. Leading component developers John Cheesman and John Daniels show how to use UML 1.3 to specify and design any mid-to-large-size system utilizing server-side component technologies -- and, along the way, introduce powerful rules and guidelines for enhancing any component architecture. First and foremost, UML Components focuses on process: design processes for producing large-scale component-based systems that can be implemented through existing project management processes. Second, the book offers detailed, expert techniques for using UML 1.3 notation and diagrams to create component specifications that can support change, by allowing for easy substitution as new business problems and technical opportunities arise. The book includes detailed coverage of the Object Constraint Language, practical techniques for configuring and using UML tools, and a complete, start-to-finish case study.

Author Bio

John Cheesman is Director of Enterprise Application Development for ComponentSource. He has extensive experience applying component-based development processes, tools, and standards within large corporations. John specializes in modeling, specification, and repositories, and was a key contributor to the development of the UML. He is a regular speaker at international conferences on component-based development. John Daniels is an independent consultant and trainer. A pioneer of object-oriented concepts and practices, John has applied object and component technology to a wide range of fields during the past fifteen years, from factory automation to banking. He co-developed the Syntropy method, from which the UML Object Constraint Language is directly descended. John is a frequent speaker at international conferences on object technology, components, and development processes, and is co-author of Designing Object Systems: Object-Oriented Modeling with Syntropy (Prentice-Hall, 1994).
