Management of the Object-Oriented Development Process consists of a series of high-level discussions on technical and managerial issues related to object-oriented development. This book introduces object-oriented development techniques, including modeling languages, programming languages, reusable patterns and software development processes. It discusses the ongoing trends of object-oriented development, including emerging e-business development frameworks, executable UML and requirements engineering. There is also a focus managerial issues such as project management and software evaluation, and how to manage the paradigm shift from structured to object-oriented development.

Management of the Object-Oriented Development Process offers systems developers, project managers, information systems students and researchers technical skills as well as strategic insights on how to manage software projects, deploy object-oriented software development processes, understand the current trends and make the transition from structured to object-oriented techniques.

Chapters

Chapter 1

Object-Oriented Modeling in UML2 (pages 1-35)

Boris Roussev

Object-orientation (OO) is a powerful design methodology, which has firmly moved into the mainstream of software development. In 2002, both the IEEE John von Neumann Medal and the ACM Turing Award (the Nobel Prize for Computing) were...

Chapter 2

MDA with xUML: Model Construction and Process Management (pages 36-60)

Boris Roussev

xUML epitomizes the convergence of visual modeling with model manipulation programming. The results of this merger are executable models and model-driven software development. This chapter presents the fundamental notions of...

Chapter 3

Management Planning in a Changing Development Environment (pages 61-86)

Melissa L. Russ, John D. McGregor

Technologies such as aspect-oriented and generative programming bring new capabilities to object-oriented software development. They do not simply replace existing techniques; they change the shape of the development environment....

Chapter 4

MDA Design Space and Project Planning (pages 87-108)

Boris Roussev

The change to Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) with Executable UML (xUML) results in changes to the existing object-oriented development practices, techniques, and skills. To use a transformational approach to create objects with...

Chapter 5

Agile Outsourcing to India: Structure and Management (pages 109-140)

Boris Roussev, Ram Akella

The combination of low labor costs, technological sophistication, project management skills, and successful software establishment makes India a particularly attractive location for software production outsourcing. Furthermore, in...

Chapter 6

User Requirements Validation and Architecture Discovery through Use Case Invariants and Model Animation (pages 141-182)

Boris Roussev, Yvonna Rousseva

This work proposes a technique for requirements validation and logical structure discovery, compatible with evolutionary process models. The technique is based on a conservation law, called business value invariant, which quantifies...

Chapter 7

RUP and eXtreme Programming: Complementing Processes (pages 183-199)

Gary Pollice

The Rational Unified Processâ, or RUPâ, and eXtreme Programming (XP) are two popular software development methodologies or processes. Most people tend to think of them as opposing methods, where a project may adopt one or the other...

Chapter 8

Managing Complexity with MDSD (pages 200-230)

Jorn Bettin

This chapter addresses the question of how to successfully create durable and scalable software architectures that enable the underlying design intent of a system to survive over a period of many years, such that no accidental...

Chapter 9

Agile RUP: Taming the Rational Unified Process (pages 231-246)

Gary K. Evans

The Rational Unified Processâ (RUP) is the de facto iterative software development process in use today. But it is huge (over 3,200 files), prescriptive, and generic rather than concise, agile, and specific. Organizations moving to...

Chapter 10

Planning and Managing the Human Factors for the Adoption and Diffusion of Object-Oriented Software Development Processes (pages 247-277)

Magdy K. Serour

Although there are a large number of contemporary software development processes/methodologies available to assist and guide software professionals in developing software systems, there is no specific process that can assist...

Chapter 11

Web Services in Service-Oriented Architectures (pages 278-288)

Gerald N. Miller

There is little debate in either corporate or academic circles that Web services comprise a large part of the next technological wave. Clearly, Web services will be instrumental in building service-oriented architectures that...

Chapter 12

Model-Based Development: Metamodeling, Transformation and Verification (pages 289-312)

Juan D. Lara, Esther Guerra, Hans Vangheluwe

Since the beginning of computer science more than 50 years ago, software engineers have sought techniques resulting in higher levels of quality and productivity. Some of these efforts have concentrated in increasing the level of...

Chapter 13

Agile Project Controlling and Effort Estimation (pages 313-324)

Stefan Roock

Project controlling was not in the focus of agile methods like eXtreme Programming (XP, cf. Beck, 1999) for a long time. Since agile methods are grass rooted, they derive from practitioners and focus on their needs. This chapter...

Chapter 14

Improving OO Design Process Using Rules, Patterns and Refactoring (pages 325-336)

Javier Garzas, Mario Piattini

In recent years different areas of knowledge related to the construction of object-oriented (OO) designs such as principles, heuristics, patterns, and refactoring techniques have been consolidated, but there is a lot of work still to...

Chapter 15

The BORM Method: A Third Generation Object-Oriented Methodology (pages 337-360)

Roger Knott, Vojtech Merunka, Jiri Polak

BORM (Business Object Relationship Modeling) is an object-oriented system development methodology, which has proven to be very effective in the development of business systems. The effectiveness gained is largely due to a unified and...
