Robert John Hathaway III, Editor, Object Currents
The UML (arch. Unified Method) is an important new development in object
methodology of relevance to all. This presentation will examine: (1) the
latest OML standard: metamodels, models, and notation; (2) its use through
several examples; (3) evaluation by the most modern standards of use; (4)
comparison with other methods and efforts. Participants will learn how
to apply the UML within and to their development process and will explore
effective use of its advanced capabilities and potential. Attendees are
expected to have some knowledge of object methodology, especially Booch,
OMT, or OOSE.
BOB HATHAWAY is Editor In Chief of the Object Currents Hypertext Journal, and CEO of Cyberdyne Systems. He has a decade of experience in object technology including languages, compilers, and methods (Booch and OMT).
Donald Firesmith, Knowledge Systems Corporation
This tutorial presents the Firesmith Method, a fourth generation object-oriented
development method intended for the development of large complex applications.
This tutorial covers basic concepts, modeling techniques, and the development
process. Future directions in terms of the Unified Method and the OMEGA/OPEN
Method Standard will also be addressed.
DONALD FIRESMITH is author of Object-Oriented Requirements Analysis: A A Software Engineering Approach (1993) and Testing Object-Oriented Software (4th quarter 1996), coauthor of The Dictionary of Object Technology (1995), editor of two anthologies on OO testing (1996-1997), and is a senior technical staff member at Knowledge Systems Corporation.
OPEN: A Third Generation OO Methodology
Professor B. Henderson-Sellers, Swineburne Univ. of Technology
The tutorial will describe the collaborative OPEN methodology, which
combines the best of MOSES, SOMA, Martin/Odell and BON with significant
influences from several other methodologies such as OOram, RDD and OBA;
as well as the formal OO language, Object-Z. In this presentation, the
overall architecture of OPEN will be described and highlights of the more
advanced techniques included.
BRIAN HENDERSON-SELLERS is Professor of Computer Science at Swineburne University of Technology in Australia. He is author of four best-selling books on object technology.
The Business Object Notation: OO Analysis & Design for Large-scale systems
Jean-Marc Nerson, SOL, France
Software reuse on a broad scale is generally recognized as the major
potential of object technology. The B.O.N. method is focused on two software
development principles, which play crucial roles in attaining this goal.
The tutorial shows how the method avoid impedance mismatches and uses a
small case study is used to explain the basic concepts and systematic tasks
of the B.O.N. development process.
JEAN-MARC NERSON is Managing Director of Societe des Outils du Logiciel (Paris) and consults on large scale O-O projects worldwide with Fortune 500 companies. He co-authored with Kim Walden Seamless O-O Software Architecture: The Analysis & Design of Reliable Systems (Prentice-Hall, 1995)
