Ulm Components. A Simple Process For Specifying Component-Based Software (Component Software Series) - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

John Cheesman is Director of Enterprise Application Development for ComponentSource. He has extensive experience applying component-based development processes, tools, and standards within large corporations. John specializes in modeling, specification, and repositories, and was a key contributor to the development of the UML. He is a regular speaker at international conferences on component-based development. John Daniels is an independent consultant and trainer. A pioneer of object-oriented concepts and practices, John has applied object and component technology to a wide range of fields during the past fifteen years, from factory automation to banking. He co-developed the Syntropy method, from which the UML Object Constraint Language is directly descended. John is a frequent speaker at international conferences on object technology, components, and development processes, and is co-author of Designing Object Systems: Object-Oriented Modeling with Syntropy (Prentice-Hall, 1994).

De la contraportada

Developers using component technologies such as COM+ and Enterprise JavaBeans need to be able to define and express specifications for their components. They can do so using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), whether or not the components are being implemented internally using object technology. However, they also need a simple process that ensures specifications relate correctly to requirements.

Although originally conceived as a notation for object-oriented modeling, UML has great potential for component-based systems.UML Components applies UML to the world of component architecture, demonstrating how it can be used to specify components, their interactions, and their integration into cohesive systems. This book shows readers which elements of UML apply to server-side component-based development and how to use them most effectively. Following a simple step-by-step process, the authors walk through requirements definition, component identification, component interaction, component specification, and provisioning and assembly. Throughout, the focus is on the specification of the external characteristics of components and their inter-dependencies, rather than on internal implementation. Numerous UML diagrams illustrate component specifications, and a detailed case study demonstrates important concepts and techniques.

System architects, designers, programmers, and testers interested in leveraging the advantages of UML will find this a concise, practical, and insightful guide. The authors address the two great challenges of designing and constructing enterprise-scale component-based software: finding a process that can support the construction of large component systems, and making the best use of the wide range of notations and techniques found in the UML.
