Object-Oriented Information Engineering : Analysis, Design, and Implementation

This volume covers re-engineering for object orientation as well as object-oriented programming languages and database management systems. It also provides information on client/server and cooperative processing. Key features of this text include: the integration of information on engineering techniques and practices with object-oriented analysis, design and implementation; designed specifically for developers of information systems applications; coverage of object oriented programming languages and database management systems Content: Front Matter, Page iii Copyright, Page iv Preface, Pages xiii-xiv 1 - What Is Information Engineering?, Pages 1-9, Stephen Montgomery 2 - What Is Object Orientation?, Pages 11-29, Stephen Montgomery 3 - Business Information Requirements, Pages 31-45, Stephen Montgomery 4 - Detailed Object Modeling, Pages 47-60, Stephen Montgomery 5 - Business Functions and Subject Areas, Pages 61-73, Stephen Montgomery 6 - Individual Object Behaviors, Pages 75-86, Stephen Montgomery 7 - Object Interactions, Pages 87-106, Stephen Montgomery 8 - Integrate and Validate Analysis Models, Pages 107-117, Stephen Montgomery 9 - Object Structure Designs, Pages 119-134, Stephen Montgomery 10 - Application System Object Behavior, Pages 135-141, Stephen Montgomery 11 - User Interface Requirements, Pages 143-154, Stephen Montgomery 12 - General System Designs, Pages 155-169, Stephen Montgomery 13 - Design for System Distribution, Pages 171-181, Stephen Montgomery 14 - Redesigning Existing Systems for the Future, Pages 183-211, Stephen Montgomery 15 - Programming Languages, Pages 213-223, Stephen Montgomery 16 - Database Environments, Pages 225-250, Stephen Montgomery 17 - Client/Server and Cooperative Processing, Pages 251-275, Stephen Montgomery 18 - Object-Oriented Systems Architecture, Pages 277-287, Stephen Montgomery Glossary, Pages 289-303 Bibliography, Pages 305-309 Index, Pages 311-324 Object-Oriented Information Engineering: Analysis, Design, and Implementation discusses design, both its object-oriented and traditional development and analysis, on which the book gives much focus. The book begins with an introduction to information engineering and its phases, object-oriented information engineering, and object orientation. The text then moves on to more specific topics, such as business information requirements; detailed object modeling; business functions and subject areas; and individual object behaviors and object interactions. The book also explains the integration and validation of analysis models; object structure designs; and system designs and its different applications. The text is recommended for undergraduates and practitioners of computer and/or information engineers who want to learn more about object-oriented design, its relation with traditional design, and its analysis. The book is also for those who wish to contribute and conduct further studies in the field of object-oriented design.
