This is a textbook for a course in object-oriented software engineering at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as for software engineers. It contains more than 120 exercises of diverse complexity.The book discusses fundamental concepts and terminology on object-oriented software development, assuming little background on software engineering, and emphasizes design and maintenance rather than programming.It also presents up-to-date and easily understood methodologies and puts forward a software life cycle model which explicitly encourages reusability during software development and maintenance.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Contemporary Computing, IC3 2010, held in Noida, India, in August 2011. The 42 revised full papers presented together with 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 162 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on: algorithm; applications; systems (hardware and software); biomedical informations; poster papers.

-- The first book to systematically address defect prevention in object-oriented projects.-- Includes practical tools, templates, checklists and other productivity tools.-- Covers both static and dynamic approaches: fully compatible with UML, RUP, and OPEN!This is the first systematic guide to defect identification, correction, and prevention in object-oriented software development projects. Houman Younessi covers every aspect of defect reduction, going far beyond testing to cover every key aspect of the software development process, from planning through software delivery. Younessi provides hands-on tools, templates, checklists, and other productivity tools that project team members can use to begin improving software quality immediately. The techniques presented in this book are entirely compatible with today's leading tools, notation schemes, and methodologies, including the UML modeling standard, and both the RUP (Rational Unified Process) and OPEN process models. For every developer, manager, quality professional, researcher, and student concerned with improving software quality.

This new edition continues its unique approach to teaching all aspects of object-oriented programming, bringing it right up to date with the latest advances in technology. It requires no extensive knowledge of programming languages. It is divided into four parts, each presenting the issues involved in object-oriented programming from a different perspective: software engineering and design, languages and system development, abstract data types and polymorphism, and applications and frameworks. Software engineers who want to understand the theory behind modern object-oriented technology while learning about such new topics as patterns, UML, and Java.

"This book consists of a series of high-level discussions on technical and managerial issues related to object-oriented development"--Provided by publisher.

Presents a step-by-step methodology that integrates modeling and design, UML, patterns, test-driven development, quality assurance, configuration management, and agile principles throughout the life cycle. This book provides stimulating exercises that go far beyond the type of question that can be answered by simply copying portions of the text.

This book covers the essential knowledge and skills needed by a student who is specializing in software engineering. Readers will learn principles of object orientation, software development, software modeling, software design, requirements analysis, and testing. The use of the Unified Modelling Language to develop software is taught in depth. Many concepts are illustrated using complete examples, with code written in Java.

This volume aims to study how practicing software developers, in industrial as well as academic environments, can use object technology to improve the quality of the software they produce. It includes topics on concurrency and Internet programming.

Venturing beyond C++ programming, this text shows how to engineer software products using object-oriented principles. It covers gathering requirements, specifying objects, object verification, defining relations between objects, translating object design into code, object testing, and software maintenance.

In today’s modernized environment, a growing number of software companies are changing their traditional engineering approaches in response to the rapid development of computing technologies. As these businesses adopt modern software engineering practices, they face various challenges including the integration of current methodologies and contemporary design models and the refactoring of existing systems using advanced approaches. Applications and Approaches to Object-Oriented Software Design: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the development of modern software practices that impact maintenance, design, and developer productivity. While highlighting topics such as augmented reality, distributed computing, and big data processing, this publication explores the current infrastructure of software systems as well as future advancements. This book is ideally designed for software engineers, IT specialists, data scientists, business professionals, developers, researchers, students, and academicians seeking current research on contemporary software engineering methods.
