Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Lecture in the Master's Programme

Goal

The course teaches how large, complex software systems are developed using modern software engineering methods and models. In particular, the up-coming standard for object-oriented analysis and design tools, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), is described.
