OBJECT ORIENTED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

FOR UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE COURSES IN SYSTEMS ANALYSIS & DESIGN WHERE AN OBJECT-ORIENTED APPROACH IS TAKEN. THIS TEXT FOCUSES ON A BUSINESS RATHER THAN A TECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVE. AS SUCH, IT EMPHASIZES THE MIND-SET OF THE SYSTEMS ANALYST AND PROJECT MANAGER AS OPPOSED TO THAT OF THE PROGRAMMER. WHILE THIS TEXT FOCUSES ON OBJECT-ORIENTED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN AND ADHERES TO UML 2 STANDARDS, IT ALSO CONTAINS ELEMENTS FROM OTHER APPROACHES, SUCH AS RELATIONAL DATABASE SYSTEM DESIGN, THAT REMAIN A PART OF SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT IN BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS TODAY.
