Analyse orientée objets et modélisation par simulation :

 

 

 

Discover the simulation techniques at the origin of the object model...

The object model, resulting from the simulation world, finally conquered the software engineering community. This model is not limited to the programming techniques since it is now exploited by the software analysis and design methods.

This book is based at the same time on the software engineering and simulation techniques. This approach enables the presentation of M2PO, an object-oriented modelling method. M2PO deals was one of the first method to deal with domain analysis, now advised by the OMG Model Driven Architecture. This domain analysis was followed by a specific analysis, itself followed by the detailed design; M2PO used the graphic notations most current at its time and such notation can now be easily replaced by the UML notations.

Industrial examples of the use of M2PO are presented, in particular the design of a C++ toolbox C++ the animation of simulation results, the generation of simulation code from a graphical entry of a manufacturing system model. This visual programming approach was done far before EJBs and even before Windows 3.x

With the synopsis:

·  an introduction to modeling,

·  a detailed presentation of the principal concepts of the object model,

·  a study of the principal recent object-oriented analysis and design methods, 

·  a proposal for an object-oriented modeling method,

·  design of software tools in C++ and Objective-C for the animation and the generation of simulation code,

·  an animation software its user guide. 

This book is as well addressed to experienced engineers, to decision makers, industrialists, professors, as with students (2nd or 3rd cycles in France) or to researchers.
