Java Modeling In Color With Uml: Enterprise Components And Process

Java™ Modeling in Color with UML® Enterprise Components and Process By Peter Coad, Eric Lefebvre, Jeff De Luca ............................................... Publisher: Pearson PTR Pub Date: June 15, 1999 ISBN: 0-13-011510-X Pages: 221 Java Modeling in Color with UML: Enterprise Components and Process is the first book to teach software design in color. Coad and his co-authors use four colors to represent four archetypes-little forms that appear again and again in effective component and object models. Given a color, you'll know the kind of attributes, links, methods, and interactions that particular class is likely to have. You develop little color building blocks that will help you build better models and get the recognition you deserve. Color and archetypes are only the beginning. Coad and his co-authors go further, plugging those archetypes into a 12-class, domain-neutral component. Every model Coad has built over the past decade follows the basic shape and responsibilities expressed in this one component. Coad and his co-authors go even further, taking the domain-neutral component and applying it in a wide variety of business areas. So you end up with specific examples for your business, examples you can relate to, readily understand, and benefit from. Java Modeling in Color with UML: Enterprise Components and Process delivers 61 components, 283 classes, 46 interfaces, 671 attributes, 1139 methods, and 65 interaction sequences. On top of all of this, Coad, Lefebvre, and De Luca present Feature-Driven Development (FDD), the process for getting the most out of your Java modeling and development, delivering frequent, tangible, working results on time and within budget. "This book brings a new dimension to the effective use of the UML, by showing you how to apply archetypes in color to enrich the content of your models.—Grady Booch, Chief Scientist, Rational Software Corporation "I went for a job interview. The interviewer asked me to model a payroll system and gave me an hour to work it out while he observed. So I built a model using pink moment-intervals, yellow roles, green things, and blue descriptions-classes, attributes, links, methods, interactions. After 25 minutes the interviewer stopped me, saying I had already gone well beyond what others struggle to do in a full hour! So my recommendation is: read this book! It's made a better modeler out of me and I'm sure it will do the same for you." —David Anderson, Modeler and Designer, www.uidesign.net The CD includes all of the component models and skeletal Java source code in the book, along with Together/J Whiteboard Edition for modeling in color. www.togetherj.com Copyright Preface Acknowledgments About the Authors Chapter 1.
