(OPEN (Object-oriented Process, Environment and Notation) ...)
OPEN (Object-oriented Process, Environment and Notation) is an international de facto standard object-oriented development method developed and maintained by the OPEN Consortium. OPEN consists of the OPEN Modeling Language (OML) as well as process, metrics, etc. This book specifies OML, a small but vital component of the complete OPEN method. It uses diagrams, tables, Web references and text to present the syntax, semantics and rationale behind OML. It documents version 1.0 of OML so that object-oriented modelers can learn and use it, and upperCASE vendors can support it.

Using a rigorous, technical approach, it is written by a leader in the field who has developed his own object-oriented design techniques. Covers object-oriented design of software from requirements analysis to design, principles that can be applied for all types of software ranging from large to extremely complex to real time systems. The methods discussed can be used with either object-oriented or object-based language. Contains a copious amount of practical examples.
