Preface

To which class of reader do you belong?

Starting point Do you still have time to dedicate yourself to several hundreds of pages of technical papers? Do you still read a book from cover to cover? As someone who has suffered enough from the burden of heavy books, I have tried to provide you with a not too bulky, practice-oriented, and easily readable book.

Structure The book has a modular structure — the individual sections are didactically self-supporting and linked to each other by cross-references (direct page

Ways of reading specifications). Thus, you have the option of reading from beginning to end, crosswise or hopping from point to point. A streamlined way of familiarizing yourself with the subject is to read through the chapters Analysis and Design and to follow the cross-references where needed, to look up and delve deeper into individual subjects in the Fundamentals section.

This book provides you with a digest presentation, but with all-important information on the Unified Modeling Language (UML 1.4), whose notation and semantics are the current standard in object-oriented modeling. Despite this, the present book is above all an introduction to object-oriented analysis and object-oriented design. Presentation of the UML fundamentals takes place in the context of general problems and discussions about object-oriented software development. To further ease entry into the subject, the UML metamodel is not included in the discussion. Special elements, and elements less relevant in practice, are marked as "UML advanced" and, where necessary, critically presented.

The use case-driven, architecture-centered, and evolutionary development method underpinning this book is centered on the development of socially embedded corporate information systems, but it is also well suited for technical and other application domains.
