Books in the SIGS: Managing Object Technology series

This book, first published in 1997, covers the most important topics in ComponentWare (TM) technology, based in large part on the first Component Users Conference. It addresses such issues as componentware platforms, component design and architecture, distributed object computing, componentware languages, patterns and frameworks, interoperability, and debugging and testing.

This business manager's guide teaches readers to communicate with software developers in a more focused, effective way. It describes the basic diagrams of the UML modelling notation and shows how they are used to specify requirements unambiguously. When used on project, the risk of failure through unclear requirements is removed.

This book is a must-have resource for designers, programmers and testers of today's OO applications. It reviews the entire process of building object applications from analyzing the project (so you know what you need to build), to designing a user-friendly interface, and testing your approaches to make sure your applications work properly.

Presents the SELECT Perspective, a component-based approach that addresses the demands of large-scale, complex enterprise software development problems.

Written by four experienced software developers, this is a practical book about object-based and component-based software development.
