A Rationale for Both Nesting and Inheritance in Object-oriented Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been observed that design of complex objects such as software requires both decomposition by form (atomic objects) and decomposition by function (nesting) in order to reduce the design to a set of manageable components. However, the object-oriented design paradigm mostly supports decomposition by form. This paper uses a simple example to motivate the need for nesting (decomposition by function) and illustrates how nesting might be incorporated into a design language. We then demonstrate how the introduction of nesting into software specification and design significantly increases reusability. ADVcharts, a new visual formalism, and VDM are used to provide a semantics for nesting.

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملObjects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques
Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...
متن کاملTwo-Way Mapping between Object-Oriented Databases and XML
This paper presents a novel approach for mapping an existing object-oriented database into XML and vice versa. The major motivation to carry out this study is the fact that it is necessary to facilitate platform independent exchange of the content of object oriented databases and the need to store XML in a structured database. There are more common features between the object-oriented model and...
متن کاملOn Attributes of Objects in Object-Oriented Software Analysis
One of the modern paradigms to develop a system is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. There is a sequence of activities to develop an analysis model. In the first step, we work in developing an initial use case model. Then in the second step, they identify a number of concepts and build a glossary of partic...
متن کاملModeling Process Platform-based Production Configuration
This paper discusses the rationale of process platform-based production configuration in mass customization production. A multilevel system of nested colored object-oriented Petri nets (PNs) with changeable structures is developed to model the configuration of production processes. The obtained process for a new member of a product family involves both manufacturing and assembly processes for t...
