Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Models

Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to describe fundamentals, strategies and guidelines for building and finishing successfully object-oriented models for a given problem/ system. For this, the major modeling actions are to find, define, and create classes, objects, connections, attributes and operations as they are common to every object-oriented method. All these parts are essential for every OO model. The current chapter is organized around to-do lists, whereby list items are generally provided in the order of their sequence. But sometimes list items overlap and thus, their sequence is not totally clear in some cases. Therefore, each list item starts with a circle “•” as symbol and not with a consecutive number.
