Object-oriented modeling and

design
Ajay Tripathi 2
Introduction
It is a new way of thinking about problems
using models based on real world concepts.
The basic construct is object which combines
both data structure and behavior in a single
entity.
Rambaugh presents an object oriented
software development methodology, the
Object Modeling Technique (OMT) which
extends from analysis through design to
implementation.
Ajay Tripathi 3
Analysis model is built to abstract essential
aspects of application domain which contains
objects found in application, their properties
and behavior.
Then design model is made to describe and
optimize the implementation.
Finally the design model is implemented in a
programming language, database or
hardware.
Graphical notation is used for expressing
object-oriented models.
Ajay Tripathi 4
What is object-oriented?
Software is organized as a collection of
discrete objects that incorporate both data
structure and behavior.
In general it includes- identity, classification,
polymorphism and inheritance.
Object Oriented Programming Language
= Object Based Programming Language(e.g.
'83 Ada and Modula-2)
+ Inheritance + Dynamic Binding
Ajay Tripathi 5
Identity
Identity means that data is organized into
discrete, distinguishable entities called objects.
Objects can be concrete or conceptual.
In real world an object simply exist but within a
programming language each object has a
unique handle by which it can be uniquely
referenced.
The handle can be implemented by address,
array index or unique value of an attribute.
Ajay Tripathi 6
Classification
It means that objects with same data
structure (attribute) and behavior
(operations) are grouped into a class.
A class is an abstraction that describes
important properties and ignores the
rest.
Ajay Tripathi 7
Polymorphism
It means that the same operation (i.e.
action or transformation that the object
performs) may behave differently on
different classes.
Specific implementation of an operation
by a certain class is called a method.
Ajay Tripathi 8
Inheritance
It is the sharing of attributes and
operations among classes based on a
hierarchical relationship.
Subclasses can be formed from broadly
defined class.
Each subclass incorporates or inherits all
the properties of its super class and adds
its own unique properties.
Ajay Tripathi 9
Object-oriented development?
The theme is the identification and
organization of application concepts rather
than final representation in a prog. Language.
OOD approach encourages software
developers to work and think in terms of the
application domain through most of the
software engineering life cycle.
It is a conceptual process independent of a
programming language until the final stage.

Object model
Describes basic structure of objects and
their relationship
Contains object diagram
Object diagram is a graph whose nodes
are object classes (Classes) and whose
arcs are relationships among classes.
Ajay Tripathi 13
Dynamic model
Describes the aspects of a system that
change over time.
It specifies and implement control
aspects of a system.
Contains state diagram.
State diagram is a graph whose nodes
are states and whose arcs are data-
flows.
Ajay Tripathi 14
Functional Model
Describes data value transformation
within a system.
Contains data flow diagram.
Data Flow Diagram is a graph whose
nodes are processes and whose arcs
are data flows.

Ajay Tripathi 16
Abstraction
It consists of focusing on essential aspects of an entity and
ignoring accidental properties.
The goal is to isolate those aspects that are important for some
purpose and suppress those aspects that are unimportant.
Abstraction must always for some purpose because the purpose
determines what is and what is not important.
Many different abstractions of same thing are possible,
depending on the purpose for which they are made.
In building models, one must not search for absolute truth but for
adequacy for some purpose.
A good model captures the crucial aspects of a problem and
omits the others.
Focus on what an object is and does, not how to implement.

Ajay Tripathi 17
Ajay Tripathi 18
Encapsulation
Information hiding
Separating external aspects of an object
which are accessible to other objects,
from the internal implementation details
of the object, which are hidden from
other objects.
The implementation of an object can be
changed without affecting the
applications that use it.
Ajay Tripathi 19
Ajay Tripathi 20
Synergy
Identity, Classification, polymorphism
and inheritance can be used in isolation
but together they complement each other
synergistically.
Ajay Tripathi 21
Advantages of OOD
Used in developing Compilers, Graphics, UI,
databases, Object oriented languages, CAD
systems, simulations, etc.
Used to document existing programs that are
ill-structured and difficult to understand.
Not reduces development time; it may take
more time than conventional development
because it is intended to promote future reuse
and reduce downstream errors and
maintenance.
Ajay Tripathi 22
Modeling
A model is an abstraction of something
for the purpose of understanding it
before building it.
The word model has 2 dimensions- a
view of a system ( object, dynamic or
functional) and a stage of development (
analysis, design or implementation)
Ajay Tripathi 23
Purpose
Testing a physical entity before building
it
Communication with customers
Visualization
Reduction of complexity

Ajay Tripathi 25
Objects
Define objects as a concept, abstraction
or thing with purposeful meaning.
Two purpose of objects-
Promote understanding of the real world
Provide a practical basis for computer
implementation.
All objects have identity and are
distinguishable.
Ajay Tripathi 26
Ajay Tripathi 27
Classes
An object class describes a group of
objects with similar properties
(attributes), common behavior
(operations), common relationships to
other objects and common semantics.
Ajay Tripathi 28

It provides a formal graphic notation for
modeling objects, classes and their
relationships to one another.

Attribute
An attribute is a data value held by the
objects in a class.
Each attribute name is unique within a
class.
An attribute should be a pure data value,
not an object.

Operations and Methods
An operation is a function or transformation
that may be applied to or by objects in a class.
All objects in a class share the same
operations.
The same operation may apply to many
different classes.
Such an operation is polymorphic i.e. the
same operation takes on different forms in
different classes.
A method is the implementation of an
operation for a class.

Links and Association
Links and associations are the means for establishing
relationships among objects and classes.
A link is a physical or conceptual connection between objects.
A link is an instance of an association.
An association describes a group of links with common structure
and semantics.
All the links in an association connect objects from the same
classes.
Association and links often appear as verbs in a problem
statement.
An association describes a set of potential links in the same way
that a class describes a set of potential objects.
Ajay Tripathi 37
Associations are bidirectional.
In real, both directions of traversal are equally
meaningful and refer to same association.
Associations are often implemented in
programming languages as pointers from one
object to another.
A pointer is an attribute in one object that
contains an explicit reference to another
object.
Ajay Tripathi 38
A link shows a relationship between two
or more objects.
All connections among classes should
be modeled as association.
One-to-one association
Many-to-many association
Ternary association

Multiplicity
It specifies how many instances of one
class may relate to a single instance of an
associated class.
In OMT solid ball -> zero or more
Hollow ball -> optional (zero or one)
Multiplicity depends upon assumptions
and how you define the boundaries of a
problem.
Ajay Tripathi 43
Link attributes
An link attribute is a property of the links
in an association.

Role Names
A role is one end of an association.
A binary association has 2 roles, each of
which may have a role name.
A role name is a name that uniquely identifies
one end of an association.
Roles often appear as nouns in problem
descriptions.
Use of role name is optional.
Role names are necessary for associations
between two objects of the same class.

Qualification
It relates two classes and a qualifier.
Qualifier is a special attribute that reduces the
effective multiplicity of an association.
One-to-many or many-to-many may be
qualified that can be reduced to one-to-one. (
but not always)
It distinguishes among the set of objects at the
many end of an association.
A qualified association can also be considered
a form of ternary association.

Aggregation
It is a part-of relationship
It has transitivity property i.e. A is part of
B and B is part of C then A is part of C.
It is anti symmetric i.e. if A is a part of B
then B is not a part of A.
Aggregation is a special form of
association.
Ajay Tripathi 55

Aggregation
Ajay Tripathi 56
Aggregation
It is a form of association in which an
aggregate object is made of
components.
Components are part of aggregate.
Aggregate is inherently transitive i.e. an
aggregate has parts which may in turn
have parts.
Ajay Tripathi 57
Aggregation vs. Association
Aggregation is a special form of
association.
If two objects are tightly bound by a part-
whole relationship, it is an aggregation.
If two objects are usually considered as
independent even though they may often
be linked, it is an association.
Ajay Tripathi 58
A company is an aggregation of its
divisions which are in turn aggregations
of their departments; a company is
indirectly an aggregation of departments.
A company is not an aggregation of its
employees since the company and
person are independent objects of equal
structure and status.

Generalization
It is a relationship between base class
and sub class.
It is is-a relationship because each
instance of a sub class is an instance of
super class as well.

Aggregation vs. Generalization
Aggregation relates instances.
Two distinct objects are involved; one of them
is a part of the other.
Generalization relates classes.
Aggregation is often called a part of
relationship; generalization is often called a
kind-of or is-a relationship.
Aggregation is sometimes called an and
relationship and generalization refers to or
relationship

Aggregation and generalization
Ajay Tripathi 64
Aggregation can be fixed, variable or
recursive.
A fixed aggregate has a fixed structure;
the number and types of sub parts are
predefined e.g. lamp.
A variable aggregation has a finite
number of levels but number of parts
may vary e.g. company.
Ajay Tripathi 65
A recursive aggregation contains directly
or indirectly an instance of the same kind
of aggregate; the number of potential
levels is unlimited e.g. computer
program.

Ajay Tripathi 67
Propagation of operations
Propagation (triggering) is automatic
application of an operation to a network
of objects when the operation is applied
to some starting object.
E.g. moving an aggregation moves its
parts; the move operation propagates to
the parts.

Ajay Tripathi 68
A person owns multiple documents.
Each document is composed of
paragraphs that are in turn composed of
characters. The copy operation
propagates from documents to
paragraphs to characters. Copying a
paragraph copies all the characters in it.
The operation does not propagate in
reverse direction.

Ajay Tripathi 69
Propagation can be possible for save,
destroy, print and lock.

Abstract classes
An abstract class is a class that has no
direct instances but whose descendent
classes have direct instances.
A concrete class is a class that is
instantiable i.e. it can have direct
instances.
A concrete class may have abstract
subclasses but they must have concrete
descendents.
Ajay Tripathi 71
only concrete classes may be leaf
classes in the inheritance tree.

An abstract operation defines the form of an
operation for which each concrete subclass
must provide its own implementation.

Overriding operations
Reasons to use overriding-
For extension
For restriction
For optimization
For convenience
Ajay Tripathi 76
Extension
The new operation is same as inherited except it adds some
behavior usually affecting new attributes of the subclass.
Restriction
The new operation restricts the inherited.
Optimization
The new method must have the same external protocol
(prototype) and results as the old one but its internal
representation and algorithm may differ completely.
Convenience
The new class is made a subclass of the existing class and
overrides the methods that are inconvenient.





Ajay Tripathi 77
Multiple inheritance
It permits to have more than one super class
and to inherit features from all parents.
A class with more than one super class is
called a join class.
A feature from the ancestor class found along
more than one path is inherited only once.
Conflicts among parallel definitions create
ambiguities that must be resolved in
implementation.

Metadata
Metadata is data that describes other
data.
The definition of a class is metadata.
Models are metadata since they describe
the things being modeled.
RDBMS uses metadata.
Ajay Tripathi 81
A class describes a set of instances of a
given form.
Instantiation relates a class to its
instances.
The dotted arrows connect the instances
to the class.
It is also useful for documenting
examples and test cases.

Class descriptors
Classes are meta objects and not real world objects.
Class descriptors have features and they have their
own classes which are called meta classes.
A class attribute describes a value common to an
entire class of objects rather than data particular to
each instance.
Class attributes are useful for storing default
information for creating new objects or summary
information about instances of the class.
A class operation is an operation on the class itself.
The most common is to create new instances.
Operations on class structure are class operations.

Candidate keys
A candidate key is a minimal set of
attributes that uniquely identifies an
object or link.
A class may have one or more candidate
keys each of which may have different
combinations and numbers of attributes.
Each candidate key constrains the
instances in a class.
Notation is {}
Ajay Tripathi 86
constraints
These are functional relation between
entities of an object model.
Entity includes objects, classes,
attributes, links and associations.
A constraint restricts the values that
entities can assume.
Simple constraints may be placed in
object models and complex may be in
functional model.

Homomorphism
A mapping between mathematical structures of the same type (eg
groups or rings) that preserves the structure.
similarity of form
Homos = same & morphe = structure
E.g. in a parts catalog for a automobile, a catalog item may
contain other catalog items.
Each catalog item is specified by a model number that
corresponds to number of individual manufactured items, each
with its own serial number.
The individual items are also composed of sub items.
The structure of each items parts has the same form as the
catalog items parts.
Thus the contains aggregation on catalog items is a
homomorphism of the contains aggregation on physical items.

Homomorphism for a parts catalog
Ajay Tripathi 92
In general, a homomorphism involves 4
relationships among 4 classes.
The homomorphism maps links of one general
association {u} into links of another general
association {t} as a many-to-one mapping.
Two instantiation relationships map elements
of one class into another:
r is a many-to-one mapping from class B to A and
s is a many-to-one mapping from class D to C.
Ajay Tripathi 93

General Homomorphism
Ajay Tripathi 94
In general where t is on a single class
and u is on a single class then A=C, B=D
and r=s.
Homomorphism is a special type of
relationship between relationships.
Ajay Tripathi 95
Dynamic Modeling
First examine the system at a single moment of time.
Then examine changes to objects and their
relationships over time.
Those aspects of a system that are concerned with
time and changes are dynamic model, in contrast with
static or object model.
Control is the aspect of a system that describes the
sequences of operations that occur in response to
external stimuli without considering what the operation
do, what they operate on, and how they are
implemented.
Ajay Tripathi 96
concepts
Events represent external stimuli
States values of objects
State diagram
Ajay Tripathi 97
Events
It is something that happens at a point in time
One event may logically precede or follow
another or the two events may be unrelated.
The two events are casually related.
The two events are casually unrelated are said
to be concurrent i.e. they have no effect on
each other.
In modeling a system we do not establish an
ordering between concurrent events because
they can occur at any order.
Ajay Tripathi 98
An event is a one-way transmission of
information from one object to another.
In real world, all objects exist
concurrently.
An object sending an event to another
object may expect a reply but the reply is
a separate event under the control of the
second object which may or may not
choose to send it.
Ajay Tripathi 99
Every event is a unique occurrence, but we group
them into event classes and give each event class a
name to indicate common structure and behavior.
This structure is hierarchical as class structure.
E.g. flight 123 departs from Delhi and flight 321
departs from Rome are instances of event class
airplane flight departs having attributes airline flight no,
city.
The time at which an event occurs is an implicit
attribute of all events.
Ajay Tripathi 100
An event conveys information from one
object to another.
Some classes of events may be simply
signals that something has occurred
while other convey data values i.e.
attributes.
Showing attributes is optional.

Scenarios and event traces
A scenario is a sequence of events that occurs
during one particular execution of a system.
The scope of a scenario can vary; it may
include all events in the system or it may
include only those events generated by certain
objects in the system.
It can be the historical record of executing a
system or a thought experiment of executing a
proposed system.

The next step after writing scenario is to identify the
sender and receiver objects of each event.
The sequence of events and the objects exchanging
events are shown in event trace diagram.
This diagram shows each object as a vertical line and
each event as a horizontal arrow from the sender to
receiver objects.

Ajay Tripathi 106
States
It is an abstraction of the attribute values and links of
an object.
Set of values are grouped together into a state
according to properties that affect the gross behavior
of the object e.g. the state of bank is either solvent or
insolvent whether its assets are greater than liabilities.
A state specifies the response of the object to input
events.
Response is same for all values within the same state
and may be different for values in different states.
Response of an object to an event may include an
action or change of states by the object.
Ajay Tripathi 107
A state has duration
An event separates two states and a
state separates two events.
In defining states we ignore those
attributes that do not affect the behavior
of the objects.
Ajay Tripathi 108
State diagram
It relates events and states.
When an event is received, the next
state depends on the current state as
well as the event; a change of state
caused by an event is called a transition.
State diagram is a graph whose nodes
are states and whose directed arcs are
transitions labeled by event names.

Ajay Tripathi 110
A state diagram describes the behavior of a
single class.
Since all instances of a class have same
behavior they all share the same state
diagram as they all share the same class
features.
But as each object has its own attribute values
so each object has its own state.
Each object is independent of the other
objects and proceeds as its own pace.
Ajay Tripathi 111
Conditions
A condition is a Boolean function of
object values.
When Ram goes out in morning( event),
if the temperature is below freezing(
condition), then he puts on his gloves
(next state).
Notation is [condition]
Ajay Tripathi 112
Operations
An activity is an operation that takes time to complete.
An activity is associated with a state.
Notation do:A within a state box indicates that activity A starts
on entry to the state and stops on exit.
An action is an instantaneous operation.
An operation is associated with an event.
An action represents an operation whose duration is insignificant
compared to the state diagram e.g. disconnect phone line might
be an action in response to an on_hook event for phone line.
Actions can also represent internal control operations such as
setting attributes or generating other events.
The notation for an action is (/) and the name of action, following
the name of the event that causes it.

Sate generalization
A nested state diagram is a form of
generalization on states.
Generalization is or-relation.
States may have sub states that inherit
the transitions of their super states just
as classes have subclasses that inherit
the attributes and operations of their
super classes.

Functional Modeling
Ajay Tripathi 120
It specifies the results of a computation
without specifying how or when they are
computed.
It specifies the meaning of operations in
object model and actions in dynamic
model as well as constraints in object
model.
Functional model exists where
transformation is a key factor.
Ajay Tripathi 121
DFD
It shows the functional relationships of the
values computed by a system, including input
values, output values and internal data stores.
A DFD is a graph showing the flow of data
values from their sources in objects through
processes that transform them to their
destinations in other objects.
It does not show control information like time,
etc.
Ajay Tripathi 122
Elements of DFD
Processes -> Transform data
Data flow -> move data
Actor ->objects that produce and consume
data.
Data store -> objects that store data
passively.

ProcessName
actorName
Data_storeName
Information/operation

Information received from
stored data
Ajay Tripathi 123
Data Stores
It is a passive object within the graph that
stores data.
It does not generate any operation but merely
responds to requests to store and access
data.
It is drawn as a pair of parallel lines containing
the name of the store.
Input arrows indicate information or operations
that modify the stored data.
Output arrows indicate information retrieved
from data store.
In general data store is implemented as a file.

Nested DFD
The nesting of a diagram is also called
leveling.
A process can be expanded into another
DFD.
Ajay Tripathi 130
Control Flows
A data flow diagram shows all possible
computation paths for values.
Decisions and sequencing are control
issues that are part of dynamic model.
It is sometime useful to include it in
functional model so that they can not be
forgotten. This is done by including
control flows in DFD.

Ajay Tripathi 131
A control flow is a Boolean value that
affects whether a process is evaluated or
not.
It is shown by a dotted line from a
process producing a Boolean value to
the process being controlled.

Specifying Operations
Each operation may be specified as-
Mathematical functions
Table of input and output values.
Equations
Pre and post conditions
Decisions tables
Pseudo code, etc

Ajay Tripathi 134
Specification of an operation includes a
signature and a transformation.
Signature defines the interface to the
operation i.e. arguments, value returns.
The transformation defines the effect of
an operation i.e. the output values and
the side effects of the operation on its
operand objects.
Ajay Tripathi 135
Operations can be divided into three
parts-
Queries
Actions
Activities

Ajay Tripathi 136
Query
A query is an operation that has no side
effects on externally visible state of any object.
An action is a transformation that has side
effects on the target object or other objects in
the system reachable from the target object.
Actions can be defined by mathematical
equations, decision trees, decision tables, etc.

Ajay Tripathi 137
Activity
It is an operation to or by an object that
has duration in time.
It has inherently side effects because of
its extension in time.
Activity only make sense for actors.

Ajay Tripathi 138
constraints
It shows the relationship between two objects at the
same time (frequency and wavelength )Or between
different values of the same object at different times
(no of outstanding shares of mutual fund).
It can appear in each model.
Object constraints specify that some objects depend
entirely or partially on other objects.
Dynamic constraints specify relationships among the
states or events of different objects.
Functional constraints specify restrictions on
operations.
A constraint between values of an object over time is
called as invariant i.e. it specifies that some functions
of values remain constant over time.

Ajay Tripathi 139
FM Vs OM & DM
FM shows what has to be done by a
system.
The object model shows the doers- the
object.
DM shows the sequences in which the
operations are performed.
The three models come together in the
implementation of methods.
FM is a guide to the methods.
Ajay Tripathi 140
A process is usually implemented as a
method.
Actors and data stores are objects in the
object model.
Data flows are values in object model.
Ajay Tripathi 141
Relative to functional model the object
model shows the structure of the actors,
data store and flows.
Relative to functional model the dynamic
model shows the sequence in which
processes are performed.

Ajay Tripathi 142
Relative to object model the functional
model shows the operations on classes
and the arguments of each operations.
Relative to object model the dynamic
model shows the states of each object
and the operations that are performed as
it receives events and changes state.
Ajay Tripathi 143
Relative to dynamic model the functional
model shows the definition of actions
and activities that are undefined with
dynamic model.
Relative to dynamic model the object
model shows what changes state and
undergoes operations.
Ajay Tripathi 144
Structured analysis/structured
design (SA/SD)
During analysis DFD, data dictionary,
state transition diagram and ER diagram
are used to logically describe a system.
In the design phase, details are added to
the analysis models and the DFDs are
converted into structure chart describing
program language code.

Ajay Tripathi 145
Data dictionary
A paragraph is written that precisely
describe each class.
Describe the scope of class, any
assumptions, restrictions.
It also describes associations, attributes
and operations.
Ajay Tripathi 146
SA/SD and OMT
Both support object, dynamic and functional
model for a system.
OMT designs are dominated by object
modeling while SA/SD stresses on functional
decomposition.
SA/SD organizes a system around procedures
while OMT organizes a system around real
world objects or conceptual objects that exist
in users view of the world.
Ajay Tripathi 147
SA/SD is useful for problems where functions
are more important and complex than data.
SA/SD design has a clearly defined system
boundary across which the software
procedures must communicate with the real
world. so it can be difficult to extend a SA/SD
design to a new boundary.
It is much easier to extend object oriented
design; one merely design adds objects and
relationships.
Ajay Tripathi 148
In SA/SD the decomposition of a process into
sub process is somewhat arbitrary.
Different people will produce different
decomposition.
In OMT the decomposition is based on objects
in problem domain, so developers of different
programs in same domain tend to discover
similar objects. This increases reusability of
components from one project to the next.
Ajay Tripathi 149
An OMT approach better integrates
database with programming code.
Object oriented database may improve
the situation.
In contrast, SA/SD is inherently awkward
at dealing with databases. It is difficult to
merge programming code organized
about functions with database organized
with data.
Ajay Tripathi 150
Reasons to use SA/SD
Programmers have tended to think in
terms of functions so data flow based
method have been easier to learn.
Another reason is historical; SA/SD was
one of the first well-thought-out formal
approach to software and system
development.
Ajay Tripathi 151
Jackson Structured Development
(JSD )
Developed by Michael Jackson
Popular in Europe.
It does not distinguish between analysis and
design rather lumps both phases together as
specification.
It first determine what and then how
It is useful for application where timing is
important.
It is less graphical oriented than SA/SD and
OMT.
Ajay Tripathi 152
JSD model describes the real world in
terms of entities, action and ordering of
actions.
Entities usually appear as nouns in
requirements statements and actions
appear as verbs.
JSD consists of six sequential steps-
Ajay Tripathi 153
Entity action
Entity structure
Initial model
Function
System timing
implementation
Ajay Tripathi 154
Entity action
The software developer lists entities and
actions for part of real world.
The purpose is to guide the choice of
entities and actions for overall system.
The input to this step is requirement
statement
The output is list of entities and actions.
Ajay Tripathi 155
The entity structure step partially orders
the actions of each entity by time.
The initial model step states how the real
world connects to the abstract model.
The function step uses pseudo code to
state outputs of actions.
At the end of this step the developer has
a complete specification of required
system.
Ajay Tripathi 156
The system timing step considers how
much the model is permitted to gap the
real world.
The implementation step focuses on the
problems of processes scheduling and
allocates processors to processes.
Ajay Tripathi 157
JSD and OMT
JSD is more obscure than data flow and
object-oriented approaches.
One reason for this is its reliance on
pseudo codes; graphical models are
easier to understand.
It is also complex because it was
specifically designed to handle difficult
real time problems
Ajay Tripathi 158
JSD is useful in applications like-
More emphasis on actions and less on
attributes.
Where processed must synchronize with each
other
Real time software
Microcode. It is thorough and makes no
assumptions about the availability of an
operating system and considers synchronized
processing and timing.
Programming parallel computers.
Ajay Tripathi 159
JSD is ill suited for applications like-
High level analysis. It is ineffective at
abstraction and simplification.
Databses. It is biased towards actions
and away from entities and attributes. It
is poor technique for database design.
Conventional software running under an
operating system. Its abstraction of
hundreds or thousands of processes is
confusing and unnecessary.
