Unparalleled insight into the history and future of object modeling, from one of the acknowledged masters, Dr. James Rumbaugh.

This book collects the writings of Dr. James Rumbaugh in the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, with updates to reflect the new Unified Modeling Language. Rumbaugh's columns cover a wide range of object-oriented topics. Readers will discover new insights into the nature of object models, learn the warning signs of badly designed classes and misused inheritance; and get help in choosing a modeling construct. They will consider the advantages and disadvantages of models created at different levels of abstraction, and learn how to implement dynamic models. Rumbaugh also covers behavior modeling in depth, presenting flow graphics and the role of reification.



A collection of the latest writings by one of the world's most influential experts on object methodology and analysis.

• Numerous examples make this a hands-on guide to the use of Rumbaugh's OMT method and the new Unified Modeling Language (UML).

• Modeling concepts and conundrums: insights into the challenges of modeling.

• Understanding modeling: the life of an object model., modeling at different levels of abstraction, and dynamic modeling.
