For nearly ten years, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been the industry standard for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. As the de facto standard modeling language, the UML facilitates communication and reduces confusion among project stakeholders. The recent standardization ...
How can software developers, programmers and managers meet the challenges of the 90s and begin to resolve the software crisis? This book is based on Objectory which is the first commercially available comprehensive object-oriented process for developing large-scale industrial systems. Ivar Jacobson developed Objectory as a result of 20 years of ...
Use cases are a simple, straightforward -- yet very powerful -- way to express the functional requirements (or behaviors) of a system. Use cases have gained widespread acceptance because they make requirements less ambiguous by specifying exactly when and under what conditions certain behaviors occur. As a result, those who effective employ use ...
"If you are a serious user of UML, there is no other book quite like this one. I have been involved with the UML specification process for some time, but I still found myself learning things while reading through this book--especially on the changes and new capabilities that have come with UML." --Ed Seidewitz, Chief Architect, IntelliData ...
Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is the key management trend of the day. Ivar Jacobson's book The Object Advantage presents a blueprint for re-designing a business according to BPR principles. It uses one method to integrate his work of reengineering a business, its processes and its vital infrastructure the information system. It describes ...
This landmark book provides a thorough overview of the Unified Process for software development, with a practical focus on modeling using the Unified Modeling Language. The Unified Process goes beyond mere object-oriented analysis and design to spell out a proven family of techniques that supports the complete software development life cycle. The ...
This work on UML - created by OO technology experts, Booch, Rumbaugh and Jacobson - offers detailed and practical guidance to the UML notation in the context of real world software development.The book also offers useful summaries of UML notation on the back and the front covers.
"How can I incorporate reuse into my complex software development process in order to gain a competitive edge?" This is a question that many have attempted to answer by taking up object technology, with varying degrees of success. In Software Reuse: Architecture, Process and Organization for Business Success , the authors present a brand new, ...
Use cases are increasingly popular, but many large organizations find it difficult to develop the complex use case models they need -- and poorly developed models fail to achieve their goals. In Advanced Use Case Modeling, Volume I, two leading use case experts present proven techniques for applying use cases in even the most challenging ...
Ivar Jacobson, one of the Three Amigos of Rational, follows his fellow amigos, Grady Booch and James Rumbaugh, with the publication of The Road to the Unified Software Development Process, his own collection of the best of his work. Together with Stefan Bylund, Dr Jacobson has gathered the best of his articles from Object Magazine, JOOP, and ROAD, ...
UML has rapidly become the world's standard notation for modeling software intensive systems. This is the definitive multimedia course in UML -- straight from its inventors, Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson! You get the UML Multimedia Cyber Classroom -- powerful interactive training with over 200 digital animations of UML diagrams, ...
"A refreshingly new approach toward improving use-case modeling by fortifying it with aspect orientation." --Ramnivas Laddad, author of AspectJ in Action "Since the 1980s, use cases have been a way to bring users into software design, but translating use cases into software has been an art, at best, because user goods often don't respect code ...
