More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is a thorough text on object-oriented software development emphasizing large-scale applications and capitalizing on the increasing popularity of UML and client-server techniques. The book addresses the latest developments in database technology including object-relational databases. In this context, the Internet-driven shift from thick-clients back to server-based computing is acknowledged. The analysis and design principles discussed in the text apply equally well to conventional client-server solutions and modern component-based distributed applications.

Requirements Analysis and System Design
Developing Information Systems with UML
Leszek A Maciaszek
The development of a software system takes place in three iterative and incremental phases - analysis, design and implementation. This book describes the methods and techniques used for analysis and design, with implementation issues addressed to the extent to which they must be considered in the design. The text concentrates on object-oriented software development, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The book uses the teach-by-example principle - all concepts are exemplified and the running case studies present integrated solutions.
The focus of the book is on developing large-scale, client/server, multi-tier object-oriented information systems. The client is a workstation with a GUI and the server manages a database. The client, server and middle-tier processes communicate via object messaging. The server database can be relational, object-relational or purely object-oriented. The book identifies ways to-
· integrate analysis and design models;
· harness the complexity of large system models;
· improve software architectures;
· promote layered structuring of objects;
· understand consequences of reckless modeling;
· conduct testing and manage change;
· build maintainable and scalable systems.
The book can be used for undergraduate courses in computer science or information systems such as systems analysis, systems design, software engineering, databases and object technology, as well as being a valuable resource for software projects. The book has also been written for professionals developing business information systems, such as IT managers, application developers, consultants, analysts, designers, programmers, testers, software engineers, systems integrators and educators. The text is accompanied by a comprehensive website that contains a wealth of additional material for instructors, students and professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful book, especially on architectural design,
By coxk@bournemouth.ac.uk (Dorset) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Requirements Analysis and System Design: Developing Information Systems with UML (Paperback)
This book focuses on information systems and does and excellent job of describing their complexities, providing a much more realistic taste of what design is really about than most other text books. The earlier chapters on analysis focus on typical use case and class modelling. The introduction of the database class layer between entity classes and the database itself brings more realism to modelling than most text books consider. The architectural structures imposed on the analysis and design dramatically help in designing information and ecommerce systems (which I'm doing at the moment). The one major problem with the book, and this appears to be a growing trend in text books, is the chapter on interface design. Interface design is such a monster topic that it should be left to whole textbooks and not to a few pages that tend to paint an overly simplistic view of the subject. Another potential weakness is the almost complete reliance on collaboration diagrams in design with consequent passing reference to the other UML diagrams. Despite these reservations, I highly recommend the book.

Highly recommended as a textbook for IS analysis and design,
By jian@kub.nl (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Requirements Analysis and System Design: Developing Information Systems with UML (Paperback)
We used this book as the textbook for our 3rd year object oriented analysis and design course. As a lecturer I found this book is well structured and well balanced between examples and theorectical concepts. The students found the book is quite easy to follow because of the very well selected and presented examples. As the result, the students were doing much better in their assignments than previous year when a different textbook was used.The only problem I found with this book is Chapter 2.2, in which some of the concepts are used and introduced before they are discussed in details in other chapters. Nevertheless I highly recommend this book as a textbook for Information Systems Analysis and Design course.

Brilliant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Requirements Analysis and System Design: Developing Information Systems with UML (Paperback)
Nothing to add to previous reviews. This book is excellent if you are doing requirements analysis and want an in depth guide. It is to the point and manages to show you how to perform in depth requirements analysis without unnecessary extras.
