Using a multidisciplinary approach, The Art of Software Modeling covers theory, practice, and presentation in detail. It focuses on the importance of model creation and demonstrates how to create meaningful models.
Presenting three self-contained sections, the text examines the background of modeling and frameworks for organizing information. It identifies techniques for researching and capturing client and system information and addresses the challenges of presenting models to specific audiences. Using concepts from art theory and aesthetics, this broad-based approach encompasses software practices, cognitive science, and information presentation. The book also looks at perception and cognition of diagrams, view composition, color theory, and presentation techniques.
Providing practical methods for investigating and organizing complex information, The Art of Software Modeling demonstrates the effective use of modeling techniques to improve the development process and establish a functional, useful, and maintainable software system.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, The Art of Software Modeling covers model theory, practice, and presentation in detail. This book describes the driving need for model creation and demonstrates how to create system models. Presenting model examples of business workflows, requirements capture, and software architecture documentation, the text discusses research and information capture, model forms, and verification. Model information, consideration of perception and cognition of diagrams, model view composition, color theory, and presentation techniques are also included to illustrate the presentation. Each section is independent to allow readers to customize the text to their needs.
Lieberman's (BioLogic Software Consulting) multi-disciplinary approach to software modeling draws upon ideas from psychology, art, and systems analysis. In this text for advanced students and practitioners of software engineering, he describes some practical methods for investigating client and system information and then creating useful and accurate software models. The challenges of presenting models to specific audiences are also addressed. Questions and exercises are found at the end of each chapter, with an answer key at the back of the volume.
