Description
SPRINGER Validated Designs For Object-Oriented Systems 2005 Edition by JOHN S., FITZGERAL,PETER G
This book provides an introduction to practical formal modelling techniques in the context of object-oriented system design. It is aimed at both practising software engineers with some prior experience of object-oriented design/programming and at intermediate or advanced students studying object-oriented design or modelling in a short course. The following features make this book particularly attractive to potential instructors: The relationship with UML and object-oriented programming makes it easy to integrate with the mainstream computing curriculum. Although the book is about formal methods, it does not have to be treated as a specialist topic. The use of tools and an accessible modelling language improves student motivation. The industry-based examples and case studies add to the credibility of the approach. The light touch approach means that the material appeals to students with a wider range of abilities than is the case in a conventional formal methods text. Support materials as listed above.
