Object Oriented Design With C++

This is the complete package for object-oriented development, and is essential reading for practicing software professionals.

Provides a complete introduction to object-oriented modelling using OMT and to the C++ programming language. For many, C++ is the implementation language of choice for object-oriented development.

The book explores the difficulties and resolutions by imposing on the language the use of an object model. This is expressed in the design language LOOM (Language for Object-Oriented Modelling) which provides the balance between the power and flexibility of the C++ programming language and the control required in its use. In this way, LOOM reduces the risk involved in the adoption of C++ as an implementation language. LOOM has been incorporated into a design tool called ROME. This powerful object modelling environment permits the designer to present an object model graphically and to decorate that model with LOOM constructs. The ROME design tool also includes a C++ code generator, delivering functional code that is ready for compilation and execution.
