Object Oriented Software Engineering, Conquering Complex and Changing Systems

This book is based on object-oriented techniques applied to software engineering. Employing the latest technologies such as UML, Patterns, and Java, Bernd Bruegge and Allen H. Dutoit offer a cohesive, class-tested presentation of object-oriented software engineering in a step-by-step format based on ten years of teaching and real-world software engineering experience. This text teaches practical experience in developing complex software appropriate for software engineering project courses, as well as industry R & D practitioners. The reader benefits from timely exposure to state-of-the-art tools and methods. Unlike other texts based on the teaching premise of multiple classes or developing multiple systems, this book focuses on techniques and applications in a reasonably complex environment, such as multi-team development projects including 20 to 60 participants. The book is based on concrete examples from real applications such as accident management, emissions modeling, facility management, and centralized traffic control.

Provides an integrated communication infrastructure for distributed development Shows the state of the art in Software Engineering: UML, Java, Design Patterns, Distributed Development, and Multiproject Management Illustrates how the reader learns to develop in a distributed team with hands-on experience on real system development problems Offers a CD-ROM containing the materials used in courses taught by the authors-problem statements, requirement analysis documents, system design documents, test manuals, prototypes, and all the artifacts produced during the development of a facility management system Presents Companion Website (www.prenhall.com/bruegge) with supplemental material such as problem statements, requirement analysis documents, system design documents, test manuals, and solutions to exercises
