OMT Insights: Perspective on Modeling from the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming

by James Rumbaugh, James Coplien

Overview

This book presents the collected writings of OMT guru Dr. James Rumbaugh. These articles--all published in the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming--encompass the development, refinement, and current state of OMT. The book includes a summary of OMT notation and process, with a description of changes needed for the new Unified Modeling Language. Complete with numerous illustrated examples, this collection is a hands-on guide to the use of OMT from many different viewpoints. It shows how to use object-oriented modeling to think clearly about software problems and solve them cleanly and effectively.
