Open Modeling with UML

OPEN Modeling with UML Brian Henderson-Sellers and Bhuvan Unhelkar ACM Press "As you read this book you will find a well-defined and well-honed methodology for managing your own software development processes. Clear explanations of fundamentally difficult concepts make this book a major contribution to the literature and to future standardization in this area" - Richard Soley, Chairman and CEO, Object Management Group. "I have seen the software industry evolve over the past 33 years and in my opinion process discipline has been one of our most significant lacunae. OPEN with UML provides an extremely solid and powerful base for promoting the software process discipline, offering immense value to the still rapidly growing software industry. The new millennium in my home country of India, as well as worldwide, will benefit greatly from a simple and lucidly written work such as this." - Prabhat (S.D.)Pradhan, CEO, TATA Technologies India. OPEN (Object-oriented Process, Environment and Notation) addresses a number of key concerns facing IT professionals today. How do you deal with challenges encountered in migration, component integration, and Internet-based development, as well as higher-level process and project management issues? OPEN is a tailorable, complete 'process environment' which gives you the power to easily customize the development process to precisely fit with your individual organization's needs. This introductory-level book guides you through the basic concepts that you will need to master for using OPEN process in industry, and to understand the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as its notational element. The authors adopt a strong practical approach, drawing on their extensive experience and developing their arguments around two detailed case studies. Primarily aimed at software developers needing to use an adaptable process to model with UML, this book will also help project managers and quality managers appreciate the use of a software development process together with a standardized notation. Structure of the book: Chapter 1 overviews the OPEN process and the appropriate use of the UML within it Chapter 2 introduces the key aspects of UML, primarily focusing on the notational element Chapter 3 covers how OPEN supports modeling and discusses the modeling artifacts such as Tasks and Techniques, the tools and processes with which to build software complemented by UML as the notation Chapters 4 and 5 consist of in-depth case studies: a library management system which illustrates how to use OPEN in a responsibility-driven style of development; and a small business loan system, an example of a use-case-driven large-scale software project for the Web * Additional Features: step-by-step plan for using the book as the foundation for a two day seminar course (or three day course in conjunction with the use of a CASE tool) for industry training or teaching to senior-level students web-site resource base at http://www.open.org.au appendix demonstrating the use of a process tool in applying the OPEN process

「使用UML進行開放建模」
作者：Brian Henderson-Sellers和Bhuvan Unhelkar
出版社：ACM Press

「當您閱讀本書時，您將找到一個明確且經過精心磨練的方法論，用於管理自己的軟體開發流程。對於基本困難概念的清晰解釋使本書成為文獻和未來在這個領域標準化的重要貢獻。」- Richard Soley，Object Management Group主席兼首席執行官

「在過去的33年中，我見證了軟體行業的演變，我認為流程紀律一直是我們最重要的缺陷之一。『使用UML的開放』為推動軟體流程紀律提供了非常堅實和強大的基礎，為仍在快速增長的軟體行業提供了巨大價值。像這樣簡單明瞭的著作將使我們的家鄉印度以及全球在新千年中受益匪淺。」- Prabhat (S.D.) Pradhan，TATA Technologies India首席執行官

「開放（面向對象的流程、環境和符號）解決了當今IT專業人員面臨的一些關鍵問題。如何應對遷移、組件集成和基於互聯網的開發等挑戰，以及更高層次的流程和項目管理問題？開放是一個可定制的完整『流程環境』，使您能夠輕鬆地根據您的組織需求精確定制開發流程。」

這本入門級書籍將引導您掌握在工業界使用開放流程所需的基本概念，並理解統一建模語言（UML）作為其符號元素的使用。作者採用實用的方法，借鑒他們豐富的經驗，並圍繞兩個詳細的案例研究進行論述。本書主要針對需要使用可適應流程進行UML建模的軟體開發人員，同時也有助於項目經理和質量經理理解軟體開發流程與標準化符號的使用。

本書結構：
第1章概述開放流程及其中UML的適當使用方式
第2章介紹UML的關鍵方面，主要聚焦於符號元素
第3章介紹OPEN如何支持建模，並討論建模工具和流程，以及UML作為符號的補充
第4章和第5章包含深入的案例研究：圖書館管理系統展示了如何以負責任的開發風格使用OPEN；小型企業貸款系統則是一個以用例為驅動的大型網絡軟體項目的例子
