Welcome

Streamlined Modeling seeks to improve software development by promoting understanding and clarity in analysis, design, and implementation. We welcome your feedback and participation in this effort.

Our first book covers analysis and business object implementation. Later works, to be previewed here, will cover design and implementation.

Streamlined Object Modeling pares down object modeling to just the bare essentials necessary to model business domains, business rules, and business services.

  • Object think and object selection principles.
  • Twelve all-encompassing "collaboration patterns" for modeling real-world relationships.
  • Five kinds of business rules, three types of services, and six categories of properties.
  • Rigorous methods for discovering, organizing, and implementing business rules around objects.

The book makes use of extensive examples drawn from real-world applications, and includes a complete case study from analysis to implementation and coded in Java and Squeak.
