Abstract:

The Booch method of Object-Oriented Design differs from other methods by focusing on the development of four fundamental models of the system to be implemented primarily in software. For large systems, developing and maintaining these models is cumbersome and error-prone. In this paper, I discuss ways in which software engineers can employ a popular CASE tool -- Rational Rose -- to automate some aspects of the Booch method.
