ZIP! Becoming Seamless

Tutorial 75 minutes

An efficient integrated process from Stakeholder trigger to Component Architecture

Graham McLeod

Starting above the system level, modeling the interaction of the organization with the environment, reengineering the business processes, validating this with the domain object model, refining it with prototypes and mapping it seamlessly to a multi-tier component based and potentially distributed (Internet?) architecture

Topics

A practical and seamless method which integrates:

Stakeholder modeling - the view from outside
Business Process Engineering - Delivering best service and quality
Prototyping - Refining the requirements
Domain model mapping - Verifying active and static models
Architecture based design mapping - Translating to technology without distortion
Design is suitable for multi-tier client server, distributed objects, CORBA/EJB/Com+, Internet deployment

Benefits

Get out of the Use Case quagmire.
Reduce the number of models produced.
Avoid distortion of requirements in translation to technical design.
