From the Back Cover
Object-oriented analysis and design/UML/Enterprise information systems
From reviews of the first edition:
"Students are doing much better in their assignments than the previous year when a different textbook was used." Jian Yang, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
"A much more realistic taste of what design is really about than most other textbooks." Karl Cox, Bournemouth University, UK
"Brilliant - buy it!" Chas Newport, System Developer, Invokon Ltd, UK
Do you want to design cutting-edge enterprise information systems? Do you want to learn the principles, methods and techniques behind successful analysis and design and be able to put this theory into practice? The second edition of this best-selling book will guide you through this process, helping you deal with the challenges involved, to develop large-scale object-oriented systems in an iterative and incremental way. The approach, further built on in this new edition, is distinctive because it:
- relates theory to reality, with practical problems and limitations that would have to be addressed in the real world;
- pays special attention to the design phase, acknowledging the difficulties and intricacies of large-scale system development; and
- provides an enormous number of non-trivial examples and exercises.
The case studies and tutorials that will help you learn by example have been taken from the following varied application domains: online shopping, advertising expenditure, contact management, time logging, telemarketing, university enrolment and video store. Each has its own unique features and educational benefits.
The second edition has been substantially updated, broadening the coverage and ensuring the book is up-to-date in the technology-influenced area of systems development. Key changes from the last edition are:
- use of UML 2.0 and occasional use of Java code to further explain the meaning of more complex UML models;
- a "crash course" on object technology and object modeling, following requirements analysis and prior to requirements specifications with UML;
- a "crash course" on system architecture and program design prior to the detailed discussion about distributed client/server system design;
- a new discussion about user interface design with user experience (UX) storyboards and discussing the mapping between business objects and relational databases; and
- significant expansion of the guided tutorial on online shopping, making this a separate chapter for review and reinforcement at the end of the book.
Whether you are a student on a computer science or information systems course, or someone working in industry wanting up-to-date practical help based on a sound theoretical footing, this book will be of lasting benefit to you.
Leszek A. Maciaszek is an Associate Professor of Computing at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. He is an academic and international consultant working mainly in the design and implementation of enterprise applications, databases and object technology. His other books include Database Design and Implementation (Prentice Hall 1990) and Practical Software Engineering (Addison Wesley 2005).

Right of withdrawal

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Greener Books, London, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
