Objectives: On satisfactory completion of this subject, students will be able to discuss the object-oriented paradigm in systems analysis and design; understand and apply the fundamental concepts of the object-oriented approach; understand and apply the processes and techniques of abstraction and the notation to support the various abstraction constructs; apply problem-solving techniques at different levels of abstraction and understand the effect this may have on a system specification; analyse a complex information system and develop detailed an appropriate models using appropriate techniques; appreciate the applicability and limitations of using particular approaches and techniques to specific problem areas; and be aware of the ongoing development of concepts and techniques within the academic and practitioner communities.
Synopsis: This subject offers students a coverage of the object-oriented approach to systems analysis and design. The following topics will be addressed: object-oriented concepts, abstraction and modelling; object modelling - identification, classification, association, generalisation and aggregation, inheritance, meta-data and notation for object modelling; dynamic modelling - state transition diagrams and object lifecycles; object-oriented development methodologies - object modelling technique (Rumbaugh and others), object-oriented analysis (Schlaer and Mellor), object oriented design; object communication models; and integration of models.
