Objectifying Real-Time Systems presents a comprehensive approach for creating a real-time information processing system requirements model. Drawing on twenty-seven years of development experience, the author expertly guides the reader through the steps of objectifying real-time systems. He exemplifies the evolution of popular Real-Time Structured Analysis (RTSA) techniques into the object development era - Real-Time Object-Oriented Structured Analysis (RTOOSA). Over 100 helpful figures and examples are provided to illustrate how RTOOSA products represent the requirements of such systems. The accompanying diskette contains the source programs that are used as examples throughout the book, enabling the reader to experiment and verify executions without having to key in code. First being introduced to the basic concepts of object-oriented programming, the reader then learns how to create each of the six RTOOSA Requirements Model products and also learns how these products interact to allow verification of a complete and consistent model. As RTOOSA is an evolutionary extension of proven concepts of modern object-oriented technology, the reader will find Objectifying Real-Time Systems a significant aid in objectifying their own non-object-oriented systems.

As more and more professionals in the software industry gain experience in both object-oriented (OO) development and the graphical user interface (GUI), it has become clear that not only do GUI libraries have a number of advantages over other kinds of libraries, but they are also fun to work with! Using Motif with C++ provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a library for programming GUIs in the C++ programming language. Written for beginning or experienced Motif programmers, this book serves both as a tutorial for writing a portable Motif-based interface library in C++ and as a reference for enhancing and maintaining such software. This essential book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts required to use the Motif C language interface including the even driven input model, callbacks, event handlers, and widgets.

The two biggest causes of failure of object-based projects are the software managers' lack of understanding of the technology or their inability to recognize that OT projects must be managed differently from other projects. What Every Software Manager Must Know to Succeed with Object Technology shows managers what object technology is and how to manage it effectively. It provides readers with a no-nonsense approach to object technology management, including effective guidelines on how to track the development of projects. This is the only book available that truly addresses the substantive issues that managers must address when implementing object technology. The author begins this book by providing a simple real world example to outline the technology and then shows managers the choices and tradeoffs available. Details of how to track and report progress on projects using iterative development techniques will be of particular interest to software managers.

Applying OMT was written to illustrate the process for implementing an application using the very popular Object Modeling Technique (OMT) created by James Rumbaugh. Designed as a how-to guide, this book instructs readers on the implementation process and on practical approaches for OMT. By using a typical business application as a case study, the author begins his instruction with such fundamental concepts as modeling and prototyping and then moves into specific implementation strategies using C++ and Smalltalk code. Providing the code allows the reader to see first-hand how the code is mapped into the model and also allows each reader the flexibility to extend or modify the code as needed. Through this format, readers are exposed to the complete modeling process from start to finish and receive all the guidance provided in the method.

Objectifying Motif describes methods and techniques to combine the power of object-oriented programming in C++ with the graphical user interface (GUI) development under Motif. The book is a complete guide for both beginning and advanced O-O programmers on how to combine these two distinct paradigms to achieve the greatest benefit. Specifically, the reader will learn, step by step, to design and develop a portable GUI library based on X/Motif. Called MWL, the source code for this library is provided in an appendix to the book. MWL is a fully functional library derived from the author's years of experience and can be used as is.

Written for software managers, Managing Your Move to Object Technology clearly defines and illustrates the management implications associated with the transition to object technology. Although other books may cover the technological benefits of OT, this is one of the few to address the business management issues associated with new technology and the corporate environment. It covers what OT will do to the corporate culture, not simply what it will do for it. In frank and concise terms, the author answers questions about how an organization needs to change to make a successful migration to object technology. This book is also invaluable to organizations that have experienced difficulties with the introduction of OT. This book should be required reading for all IS and IT development managers, project leaders, and team captains who want to improve the effectiveness of the software development staff. It is also ideal for CIOs or Managing Directors who are considering object technology for future product or system development. As with any new technology, the challenge does not come from the methods or the toolsets but from an organization's ability to embrace a new approach.
