Study Notes

Object-Oriented Design and Programming

Object-Oriented Design (OOD) involves turning software requirements into object specifications and creating class hierarchies to derive objects.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) enacts programs using objects in languages like C.

Analysis and Design

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Prototyping involves creating a working model for user evaluation and feedback.
Joint Application Development (JAD) brings together stakeholders to define system requirements and designs rapidly.

Object-Oriented Notation and Graphs

Classes and objects, instances of objects, message communication between objects, inheritance relationships, classification relationships, composition relationships, hierarchical charts, and client-server relationships are key concepts.

Problem Understanding and Requirements Specification

Problem understanding is the first step in analysis, providing the basis for the requirements specification of both user and software.
Identifying objects involves abstract and real-world objects.

Data Flow Diagrams and Textual Analysis

Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) and Textual Analysis (TA) describe data streams between system parts.

Big Data Analytics in Manufacturing

Big Data Analytics combines structured business and operational system data with unstructured internal and external data to uncover new insights through advanced analytical tools.
Big Data needs software capable of handling large amounts of information.

Procedure-Oriented Paradigms

This model breaks down activities into series of actions, including maintenance, demand analysis, design, coding, testing, and problem definition.

System Development Life Cycle

Problem Definition involves precise definition of the problem in user terms.
Evaluation covers comprehensive study of user and software requirements.
Design involves system design theories, software architecture, data architecture, and algorithms.
Coding involves translating design into machine-readable form.
Testing involves rigorous correctness testing of code and results.

Extensions and Modeling

CD-ROM (Compact Disc, Read-Only-Memory) is an adaptation of the CD for storing computer data.
Extensions for Real-Time Systems involve time-dependent software applications.
Ward and Mellor Extensions focus on monitoring time-continuous information.
Hatley and Pirbhai Extensions focus on representation and specification of control-oriented aspects.
Behavioral Modeling is an operational principle for all requirements analysis methods.
State Transition Diagrams represent system behavior by depicting states and events.
Control Specification represents system behavior in two ways.
Program Design Language (PDL) is a method for designing and documenting methods and procedures in software.
Process Specification describes all flow model processes at the final level of refinement.
Data Dictionary is a centralized repository of information about data.
