Object Oriented Systems Analysis And Design

Ebook: Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design Using UML

Evolutionary in approach, this book explores informatino systems development--both analysis and design--using an object-oriented methodology combined with a relational database as part of the implementation.

This text teaches readers object-oriented systems analysis and design in a highly practical and accessible way.

eBook: Object-Oriented Systems Analysis 4e

This book explains how to model a problem domain by abstracting objects, attributes, and relationships from observations of the real world. It provides a wealth of examples, guidelines, and suggestions based on the authors' extensive experience in both real time and commercial software development. This book describes the first of three steps in the method of Object-Oriented Analysis. Subsequent steps are described in Object Lifecycles by the same authors.

Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design, Second Edition, provides a clear presentation of concepts, skills, and techniques students need to become effective system analysts in today's business world. It focuses on a hybrid approach to systems and their development, combining traditional systems development and object orientation.

Overview: This text will be the first to present an object-oriented methodology from the outset for beginning Systems Analysis and Design students. It is the first book to introduce object-oriented methods without relying on classical methods to introduce key concepts or without requiring students to know Java or C++. It will presume no knowledge whatsoever about process modeling or data modeling. The widely used UML notation (unified modeling language) will be used throughout the book for all diagrams and model renderings. The key benefit to this approach is that it makes the course easier to teach and learn since many students come to this course with limited backgrounds having only taken one introductory MIS course. Also, this approach is appealing because object-oriented methodology is widely used in industry.

Systems Analysis and Design: An Object-Oriented Approach with UML, Sixth Edition helps students develop the core skills required to plan, design, analyze, and implement information systems. Offering a practical hands-on approach to the subject, this textbook is designed to keep students focused on doing SAD, rather than simply reading about it. Each chapter describes a specific part of the SAD process, providing clear instructions, a detailed example, and practice exercises. Students are guided through the topics in the same order as professional analysts working on a typical real-world project. Now in its sixth edition, this edition has been carefully updated to reflect current methods and practices in SAD and prepare students for their future roles as systems analysts. Every essential area of systems analysis and design is clearly and thoroughly covered, from project management, to analysis and design modeling, to construction, installation, and operations. The textbook includes access to a range of teaching and learning resources, and a running case study of a fictitious healthcare company that shows students how SAD concepts are applied in real-life scenarios.
