Software Modeling and Design

This book covers all you need to know to model and design software applications from use cases to software architectures in UML and shows how to apply the COMET UML-based modeling and design method to real-world problems. The author describes architectural patterns for various architectures such as broker discovery and transaction patterns for service-oriented architectures and addresses software quality attributes including maintainability modifiability testability traceability scalability reusability performance availability and security. Complete case studies illustrate design issues for different software architectures: a banking system for client/server architecture an online shopping system for service-oriented architecture an emergency monitoring system for component-based software architecture and an automated guided vehicle for real-time software architecture. Organized as an introduction followed by several short self-contained chapters the book is perfect for senior undergraduate or graduate courses in software engineering and design and for experienced software engineers wanting a quick reference at each stage of the analysis design and development of large-scale software systems.
