Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

This series provides an overview of object orientation and describes the process for developing object-oriented programming. It explains the development stages of object-oriented programming and how to manage the relationships and hierarchies between objects. It also explains the creation of object-oriented design and analysis systems, including the functions of the object-class, structure, subject, attribute, and service layers. It discusses the concepts of moving from analysis to design, and designing an object-oriented system using the Problem Domain component, the Human Interaction component, and the Data Management component.
