Abstract

In mid-1992 the SIGAda Object Oriented Working Group (OOWG) prepared a sample problem for the purpose of comparing various object-oriented methodologies and the resulting object-oriented designs. Solutions to the problem were presented at Tri-Ada '92 in Orlando at a session called "Object-Oriented Methodology Demonstration (OOMD)." This paper was prepared at the request of the OOWG as a follow-up to the presentation. The phrase "Solution #1" in the title is to suggest later alternate approaches and solutions. This paper takes the position that it is important to address software development in the context of the overall systems development process, and the related position that although it is useful to address objects during the analysis phase, an effective object-oriented design is easy to derive from a requirements analysis that is largely functional in nature.
