Object-oriented techniques and languages have been proven to significantly increase engineering efficiency in software development. Many benefits are expected from their introduction into electronic modeling. Among them are better support for model reusability and flexibility, more efficient system modeling, and more possibilities in design space exploration and prototyping. Object-Oriented Modeling explores the latest techniques in object-oriented methods, formalisms and hardware description language extensions. The seven chapters comprising this book provide an overview of the latest object-oriented techniques for designing systems and hardware. Many examples are given in C++, VHDL and real-time programming languages. Object-Oriented Modeling describes further the use of object-oriented techniques in applications such as embedded systems, telecommunications and real-time systems, using the very latest techniques in object-oriented modeling. It is an essential guide to researchers, practitioners and students involved in software, hardware and system design.

Provides an introduction to modern object-oriented design principles and applications for the fast-growing area of modeling and simulation Covers the topic of multi-domain system modeling and design with applications that have components from several areas Serves as a reference for the Modelica language as well as a comprehensive overview of application model libraries for a number of application domains

Fritzson covers the Modelica language in impressive depth from the basic concepts such as cyber-physical, equation-base, object-oriented, system, model, and simulation, while also incorporating over a hundred exercises and their solutions for a tutorial, easy-to-read experience. The only book with complete Modelica 3.3 coverage Over one hundred exercises and solutions Examines basic concepts such as cyber-physical, equation-based, object-oriented, system, model, and simulation

The Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®) is inherently object-oriented modeling language and was designed for use in object-oriented software applications. The applications could be based on the object-oriented technologies recommended by the Object Management Group (OMG), which owns the UML. The initial versions of UML (UML 1.x) were based on three leading object-oriented methods - Booch, OMT, and OOSE, to represent "the culmination of best practices in practical object-oriented modeling". UML 2.x is still object-oriented in its core (though there were some apparently unsuccessful attempts to extend UML to support other development methods). This book provides practical guidance on the modeling and design of object-oriented systems. Its specific goals are the following: ■ To provide a sound understanding of the fundamental concepts and historical evolution of the object model. ■ To facilitate a mastery of the notation and process of object-oriented modelling and design. ■ To teach the realistic application of object-oriented modelling and design within a variety of problem domains. The concepts presented all stand on a solid theoretical foundation, but this is primarily a pragmatic book that addresses the practical needs and concerns of software engineering practitioners, from the architect to the software developer.

Software Engineering and Object Oriented Modeling: This book is specially written for those who are interested in understanding software engineering and Object Oriented Modeling concepts using UML in the Computer Engineering and Information technology field and want to gain enhanced knowledge about the power of UML Language in software development. Also everyone with interest in learning UML for Software Engineering for application development can refer to this book to get the knowledge about various features of this subject.

This book focuses on recent developments in representational and processing aspects of complex data-intensive applications. Until recently, information systems have been designed around different business functions, such as accounts payable and inventory control. Object-oriented modeling, in contrast, structures systems around the data--the objects--that make up the various business functions. Because information about a particular function is limited to one place--to the object--the system is shielded from the effects of change. Object-oriented modeling also promotes better understanding of requirements, clear designs, and more easily maintainable systems. This book focuses on recent developments in representational and processing aspects of complex data-intensive applications. The chapters cover "hot" topics such as application behavior and consistency, reverse engineering, interoperability and collaboration between objects, and work-flow modeling. Each chapter contains a review of its subject, followed by object-oriented modeling techniques and methodologies that can be applied to real-life applications. Contributors F. Casati, S. Ceri, R.
