Information Systems Analysis with FOOM

Abstract

This chapter elaborates on the activities and products of the analysis stage with functional and object oriented methodology (FOOM). The products of this stage include a data/objects model in the form of an initial class diagram, and a functional model in the form of hierarchical object oriented Data flow diagram (OO-DFDs). The two diagram types are synchronized in order to guarantee the correctness and completeness of the two models. The chapter presents various examples of diagrams of both types.
