Object Oriented Systems Analysis: Modeling the World in Data

I ran across this book about 1990. I had designed a lot of software for a wide assortment of systems of various scale from the mid 1970's on. It really solidified a lot of analysis viewpoints I had developed by that time. The reviewer below is right in stating it doesn't seamlessly bridge the gap from analysis to application. Nevertheless, an experienced designer will bridge that gap with little effort. The most challenging part of design is analysis and modeling of the system separately from any consideration of the implementation, which is a must for an efficient design. This book does exactly that!

This Book to learn Object-Oriented Analysis and Recursive Development (OOA/RD) is a mature, rigorous object-oriented system development method. As, It has been successfully deployed on hundreds of large, strategically important projects insectors such as telecommunications, automotive,aerospace and defence, so this book is a must read that goes step by step in telling how the modelling is done.
