Management Of The Object-Oriented Development Process
Object-orientation (OO) is a powerful design methodology, which has
firmly moved into the mainstream of software development. In 2002, both
the IEEE John von Neumann Medal and the ACM Turing Award (the Nobel
Prize for Computing) were awarded to the scholars who started the
object-oriented journey back in 1967. Despite this recognition, objectorientation
is far from being the dominant technology of choice. Contrary
to the common belief, a recent authoritative study reports that only 30%
of the software companies rely on OO technologies, and that the waterfall
model is still the most popular lifecycle model of software development.
In this introductory chapter, we present the fundamental concepts and
principles of object-oriented modeling with UML version 2. Born out of
the efforts to resolve the software crisis, UML has taken such a hegemonic
role that we fear object-orientation may undergo a population
“bottleneck.” In biology, this is an event that dangerously cuts the
amount of genetic diversity in a population. The objectives of this chapter
are as follows: 1) to present the influential ideas in the evolution of objectorientation;
2) to identify the lasting trends in object-orientation; 3) to

introduce the core UML modeling languages and some of the techniques
closely associated with them; and 4) to discuss some of the challenges with
object-oriented modeling. In addition, we present the E-ZPass system, a
system of moderate complexity used as a running example in the first five
chapters of this book. This presentation is the book’s cornerstone. There
is not a single chapter in the rest of this volume that does not assume an
