Stepwise object-oriented system design

A structured method is presented for object-oriented system design, with special emphasis on discovering objects within the system and creating an object-oriented model of the system. First, a technique is introduced for decomposing an object into its components according to the actions required by the operations of that object. Next, system decomposition is presented as a coherent top-down process which progressively applies object decomposition principles through all the stages of system design.<
